Fe/Pt multilayers and FePt thin films were prepared by DC magnetron sputtering. The as-prepared samples were subjected to vacuum annealing at temperatures in t he range of 300—550℃. The multilayered structure is an effective approach fo r reducing the ordering temperature of FePt. The ordering parameter S is evaluated to be 06, and correspondingly the coercivity is evaluated to be 501kA/m in Fe(15nm)/Pt(15nm)1313 multilayers annealed at 350℃ for 20min. Relatively low ordering temperature for the multilayer is due to the e xtra driving force of ordering process caused by the vanishing of the multilayer interface at annealing.
