Abstract
We investigated the magnetic properties of NixPd1-x films epitaxially grown on Cu3Au(100) surfaces. The films grow nicely layer-by-layer at higher Pd concentrations and exhibit a composition dependent inverse spin reorientati on transition. Growth and magnetic properties are found to be strongly affe cted by the film strain. (C) 2000 American 0Institute of Physics. [S0021-89 79(00)84108-0].
