In this study the regularities of diffusion processes and structural phase transitions in Pt(15 nm)/Fe(15 nm) layered stacks with and without Au intermediate layer during annealing in vacuum in the temperature range of 215–550°C are investigated. The influence of both annealing temperature and the presence of intermediate layer on magnetic properties of the films is analyzed. As found, the diffusion processes in Pt/Au/Fe stack are significantly accelerated compared to Pt/Fe film leading to drastic enhancement of the coercivity up to 20.9 kOe.

Key words: coercivity, L1$_0$-FePt phase, diffusion, thin films.
