Abstract
We report the temperature dependence of the effective perpendicular an isotropy and interface anisotropy in the temperature region of 80K to 290K for Co/Pt and Co/Au multilayers. Different temperature dependence of the interface anisotropy have been observed for these two types of multilayers. We speculate that the strain due to the lattice misfit m ay not be the main reason responsible for the perpendicular anisotropy in Co/Pt and Co/Au multilayers.
