ABSTRACTIn-situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) and Kerr microscopy are used to investigate the relations between structure, morphology, and magnetism in low-temperature (LT) grown Fe/Cu(100) films. At the spin reorientation thickness of ≈ 3.8 monolayers (ML) Fe/Cu(100) the coexistence of in-plane and out-of-plane magnetized domains is observed. For Fe thicknesses between 3.8 and 6 ML Fe/Cu(100). an irreversible spin reorientation from in-plane to out-of-plane can be induced by annealing up to 420 K. Annealing of LT-grown Fe/Cu(100) films is proposed to provide smooth surfaces for Cu/Fe/Cu(100) sandwich preparations.

Magneto Optical Kerr Effect

ABSTRACTAnnealing of CoAV(110) ultrathin films causes rather strong changes of film morphology and magnetic properties, which has been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and alternating-current magneto-optical Kerr effect (ac-MOKE). Annealing above 500 K of room-temperature grown 2 monolayers (ML) thick Co/W(110) films leads to the formation of islands and a decrease of the Curie temperature 7C. At 4 ML, on the other hand, a network of interconnected islands is formed upon annealing, resulting in an enhanced TC. While the increase of TC at 4 ML is explained by an increase of the local film thickness, the anomalous TC behavior at 2 ML is assigned to the occurrence of superparamagnetism.
