Abstract
Magnetization-induced changes of reflected second-harmonic signals from thi n Co and Ni films on Cu(001) were measured as a function of film thickness during film growth for substrate temperatures of 80 degrees C and 45 degree s C, respectively. The film thickness was controlled by medium energy elect ron diffraction. The onset of ferromagnetic coupling was recorded and the r eorientation from in-plane to out-of-plane magnetization was studied for Ni films at various temperatures.
