Abstrakt: Ultrathin [Co/Pt]nsuperlattice films consisting of 0.18-0.60-nm-thick Co and Pt sublayers were deposited by sputtering. A large in-plane saturation field (Hs) of ?39 kOe and a very large effective perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (Keff) with a magnitude of 107erg/cm3were attained. The highest Keffwas ?1.40 × 107erg/cm3. These films are promising candidates for the reference layer of the p-MgO magnetic tunnel junction in Gb-scale magnetic random-access memory.
