Abstract:
The crystallographic structure and magnetic properties of L1(0) FePt thin films deposited at different substrate temperature were investigated systematically in present paper. The ordered L1(0) FePt thin film was developed when substrate temperature is higher than 300 degrees C. The ordering parameter S, the degree of tetragonality c/a, and the epitaxial quality of the films, increase with increasing substrate temperature. The squareness and coercivity in the direction perpendicular to the film increase as the substrate temperature is increased and the perpendicular anisotropy is developed when the substrate temperature is higher than 300 degrees C. The magnetic anisotropy Ku increases with increasing substrate temperature and it might be concluded that the magnetic anisotropy of ordered L1(0) FePt thin films mainly stems from the magnetocrystalline origin and also possibly due to pair ordering mechanism.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
