1. An article, comprising:

  • a non-magnetic substrate; and

    an anisotropic, magnetically soft film supported by said substrate, said film including an alloy of cobalt-iron-chromium-nitrogen (Co--Fe--Cr--N) and having a saturation magnetization (4π

    Ms) of at least approximately 8 kilogauss (kG), an anisotropy field (Hk) within the range from approximately 15 to 300 oersteds (Oe) and a magnetic hysteresis (M-H) loop squareness ratio (remanent magnetization, Mr, to saturation magnetization, Ms) of at least approximately 0.90, wherein said alloy contains, by atomic percentage, at least approximately 15% cobalt (Co), and wherein said article has been heat treated at a temperature of no more than approximately 150°

    Celsius.
