Abstract
CoCr film structural features, on Al and NiP (on Al) substrates were established by control of process conditions to optimize structure sensitive properties like perpendicular coercivity. Hc(⊥) depends strongly on process conditions but relatively independent of substrate type. Rough substrates produced films exhibiting less uniformity in columnar grain diameters.
