The effects of tungsten concentration on crystalline structure and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of Co-W films

In this study, Co-W thin films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering were demonstrated to be perpendicular magnetic anisotropic with large magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE). Thermodynamic calculations based on Miedema’s semi-empirical model have been used to estimate the phase i...
