Abstract
We have studied the magnetic anisotropy of MBE-grown X/Y/Co/Au thin fi
lm structures. For an interlayer wedge of Y = Au on a X = Cu buffer, w
e find a minimum in the perpendicular anisotropy (PA) at similar to 1
atomic layer (ML). In the reverse case (Y = Cu on a X = Au buffer), we
observed an exponential decrease of PA with increasing thicknesses of
the Cu interlayer.
