AbslmCL One l o nine monolayer CO Blms on Cu(l00) and one-l o five-layer-thick cO/Cu/cO trilayen on Cu(100) were fabricated at mom lemperature using metal vapourphase expiraxy techniques under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions. Using electron diEraction and Auger electron speclmscopy, we determined thal lhe single layers and multilayer films grow epitaxially and predominantly in a layer-+layer gmwth mode. Longitudinal and polar magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) measuremenls established lhal the easy axis of magnetization is in the substrate plane and provided the change of total magnetizalion with layer and multilayer thickness. Our dala suggest that the interface magnetization is aEected by the lhickness of the top CO layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
