Abstract
The control of the composition, structure (long range and short range orders), texture, and interfaces is important in order to control the magnetic properties of nanostructured films. In this paper an overview of some of our recent work on the effects of interphase interface and composition of textured long range order on the properties of nanostructured Ni-[Cu(II)-C-O] and CoCrPt films is presented.
