Abstract:Magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) were used to study the magnetic properties and the growth modes of thin Ni films on 1ML Co/Pt(111) and Co /1 ML Ni/Pt(111) at room temperature (RT). Because the lattice constants of Co and Ni are only slightly different, both growth modes have similar behavior. They grow 2 ML in layer-by-layer mode then turn to 3-D island growth. On the contrary, the magnetic properties have great difference. For N… Show more
