The thickness of CoP thin films prepared by wet chemical deposition is of crucial importance on magnetic property and recording perform-ance. The coercivity of CoP films decreased with increasing film thickness. The coercivity was 45.37 kA m 1 at the thickness of 300 nm, and decreased to 21.65 kA m 1 at 5.7 μm. Recording performance tests indicate that, for drums with the same size, different recorded magnetic pole density have different thickness requirements. For 40 mm diameter magnetic drum, the optimal CoP thickness is 3～10 μm for 256 re-corded magnetic poles, 1～2 μm for 512 recorded magnetic poles, and 500～800 nm for 1024 recorded magnetic poles.
Cadmium-free Ⅰ-Ⅲ-Ⅵ quantum dots （QDs）, represented by Cu-In-S （CIS）, are widely investigated for their non-toxicity and tunable emission properties. In this work, Zn-Cu-In-S （ZCIS） alloyed QDs were synthesized via a solvothermal approach by heating up a mixture of the corresponding metal precursors and sulphur powder with dodecanethiol in oleylamine media, and the fluorescent intensity was greatly enhanced by coating ZnS （ZS） shell. By changing the ratio of Cu, the as prepared ZCIS-ZS QDs showed composition-tunable photoluminescent （PL） emission over the visible spectral window from about 500 nm to 620 rim, which is much wider than that of CIS QDs. Moreover, the influence of excitation wavelength, reaction temperature and time on the optical properties of the ZCIS-ZS QDs was also studied. This research provides a feasible and simple approach to prepare ZCIS-ZS QDs with large tunable spectral range on visible region, which could greatly contribute to the development of potential applications due to their non-toxicity and excellent optical properties.
