The microstructures and magnetic properties of FePt films grown at on glass substrates with MgO (200) intermediate layer and CrRu (200) underlayer were investigated. The film with MgO intermediate layer showed higher degree of chemical ordering than that with MgO layer due to the compression of the lattice constant of MgO intermediate layer along the [100] direction. Isolated FePt particles were formed when nominal thickness of FePt was . The room temperature coercivity of isolated FePt particles with MgO intermediate layer was as high as , significantly larger than that with MgO intermediate layer .
