Abstract
Ultrathin Ni films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy were deposited on Cu(100) at room temperature. The magnetic properties of the films were mea sured upon multiple magnetization reversals in an alternating magnetic fiel d using the magneto-optic Kerr effect. All magnetic properties remain virtu ally constant for up to 10(6) magnetization reversals for all films studied . This finding is supported by a simple theoretical model.
