The composition dependence of the degree of chemical order S and uniaxial magnetic anisotropy energy Ku has been investigated for FePt [001] and FePt [110] films deposited at the substrate temperature Ts=300°C, and the optimum compositional region for L10 ordering in FePt [110] films has been compared with that in FePt [001] films. It has been found that high S and large Ku are obtained around the stoichiometric composition for FePt [110] films, whereas they are obtained around an off-stoichiometric Pt-rich composition for FePt [001] films, indicating that the difference in optimum compositions for achieving highly ordered structure between FePt [001] and FePt [110] films at reduced temperature.
