Abstract
We have used in situ polar Kerr effect measurements to probe the magne tic behavior of MBE-grown Co films with and without overlayers of vari ous non-magnetic transition metals (TM = Ag, Cu, Pd). We find a large peak in the coercivity, H(c), near 2 angstrom overlayer coverage for A g and Cu.
