Abstract
Morphology and crystallographic structure of polycrystalline Co-Cr films are investigated as a function of thickness by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. A method of controlling the Co-Cr columnar diameter while keeping the c-axis growth orientation is proposed to prepare Co-Cr films suitable for high density perpendicular magnetic recording.
