We report L-edge Magnetic Circular X-Ray Dichroism measurements at 30 K of
Fe deposited at 100 K on Cu (1 0 0) in the form of ultrathin films and a we
dge. The orbital and spin moments of the wedge differ from those obtained f
or uniform thickness films. For the FCT phase of Fe we stabilised both perp
endicular and in-plane easy directions. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All
