Abstract :
Multilayered films consisting of Nd-FeCo-B/Ta bilayers are prepared using magnetron sputtering and doped with Co. The hard magnetic properties are measured using vibrating sample magnetometer. The phase characterization and evaluation of the crystal alignment were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. A scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDX) was used for the microstructural observation and chemical analysis.
