In this work, the influence of the heat treatment ambient on the course of phase formation processes in nanosized FePd films with an additional Au layer is investigated. The FePd/Au films are obtained by magnetron deposition on a SiO$_2$/Si(001) substrate at room temperature. The total thickness of the films is 5 nm with Au sublayer thicknesses of 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 nm. After deposition, the films are annealed in vacuum or hydrogen in the temperature range of 600–700°С with isothermal holding for 0.5–20 hours. As found, the thermal treatment in hydrogen accelerates the processes of phase formation in FePd (4.7 nm)/Au (0.3 nm) films compared to annealing in vacuum. An increase in the thickness of the additional Au layer does not contribute to the formation of the hard magnetic L1$_0$ FePd phase.

Key words: FePd thin films, annealing in vacuum and hydrogen, coercivity, ordered phase, L1$_0$ structure.
