Ultrathin epitaxial Co films grown on Cu(001) and Cu(1117) have been s
tudied using the magneto-optic Kerr effect. For both film systems the
Kerr ellipticity exhibits a linear dependence on film thickness. Utili
zing the same optical set up susceptibilities are measured in situ wit
h monolayer (ML) sensitivity. We report for 2 ML Co/Cu(001) films stro
ng variations of the Curie temperature on the growth temperature of th
e films.
