Abstract
Fe-Pd alloys with about 30 at% of Pd belong to the group of alloys exhibiting a thermoelastic martensitic transformation. The magnetic properties of the Fe-∼30 at% Pd thin films with the disordered FCC structure were examined. A relatively high coercive force of the films was measured. In one of the film samples, a case of out-of-plane magnetization occurred. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
