M. Angelakeris et al., MAGNETOOPTIC SPECTROSCOPIC KERR-EFFECT IN CO-BASED MULTILAYERS WITH LAYER-ALLOYED MODULATION, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 144, 1995, pp. 579-580
The magneto-optic (MO) polar-Ken-rotation and ellipticity were studied
at room temperature, between 1.5-5.2 eV, for Co-Pt, Co-[CoPd], Co-[Co
Pd] and Pt-[CoPt] multilayers grown on Kapton, Si and glass in UHV. Th
e MO properties were found to depend on the modulation-layer thickness
es. The results were reproduced theoretically in conjunction with the
alloying modulations.
