Summary :

Magnetoplumbite type Ba ferrite (BaM) disks were prepared on Pt and Pt-Ta underlayers using facing targets sputtering apparatus. Pt underlayers are more effective than ZnO underlayers to promote c-axis orientation of BaM layers, especially for extremely thin BaM films. Pt-Ta underlayer was used to decrease the grain size of BaM layers. BaM/Pt-Ta disks revealed larger S/N ratio than BaM/Pt disks because of their larger signal output and lower media noise level. BaM disks with 50 nm thick BaM layers revealed lower noise level and larger S/N ratio than that with 100 nm thick BaM layers due to smaller grain size.
