Abstract
The magneto-optical Kerr effect has been used to probe three ultrathin Ni/Co-wedge/Ni sandwiches deposited by molecular beam epitaxy on sing le-crystal Cu substrates. Results show a marked orientational dependen ce of both the volume and interface anisotropy terms. The Co thickness dependence of the Kerr effect and coercivity is also discussed.
