Eam. Vanalphen et al., STRUCTURAL DEPENDENCE OF THE MAGNETIC-ANISOTROPY OF CO FILMS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 121(1-3), 1993, pp. 77-79
In order to study the relation between structure and magnetic anisotro
py, the anisotropy of thin Co films with different structural composit
ions was measured. The results agree with predictions based on a compo
sitional averaging of the bulk anisotropies. The structure of the Co f
ilms was manipulated using different growth temperatures.
