Abstract
The magnetic anisotropy of Co/Cu(001) films has been investigated by t he magneto-optical Kerr effect, both in the pseudomorphic growth regim e and above the critical thickness where strain relaxation sets in. A clear correlation between the onset of strain relaxation-as measured b y means of reflection high-energy electron diffraction-and changes of the magnetic anisotropy has been found.
