Cr thin films are often used as underlayers for Co alloy magnetic thin films, such as Co1, CoNi2, and CoNiCr3, for high density longitudinal magnetic recording. It is belived that the role of the Cr underlayer is to control the growth and texture of the Co alloy magnetic thin films, and, then, to increase the in plane coercivity of the films. Although many epitaxial relationship between the Cr underlayer and the magnetic films, such as ﹛1010﹜Co/ {110﹜Cr4, ﹛2110﹜Co/ ﹛001﹜Cr5, ﹛0002﹜Co/﹛110﹜Cr6, have been suggested and appear to be related to the Cr thickness, the texture of the Cr underlayer itself is still not understood very well. In this study, the texture of a 2000 Å thick Cr underlayer on Nip/Al substrate for thin films of (Co75Ni25)1-xTix dc-sputtered with - 200 V substrate bias is investigated by electron microscopy.

We have investigated the exchange bias in CVD grown epitaxial CrO2/Cr2O3 bilayer thin films using hysteresis loops and resonant RF transverse susceptibility. M-H loops indicated an enhanced coercivity without appreciable loop shift and the transverse susceptibility in CrO2/Cr2O3 bilayers revealed features associated with both the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases. In addition, TS yielded large anisotropy constant (Keff) values depending on the fraction of Cr2O3 present. The large anisotropy fields observed cannot be accounted for by the variable thickness of CrO2 alone and are indicative of possible exchange coupling between CrO2 and Cr2O3 phases that significantly affects the effective magnetic anisotropy.
