Magnetic anisotropies in epitaxial Fe(110) films on W(110) were analyzed using torsion oscillation magnetometry (TOM) in situ in UHV. Films with clean surfaces and films coated by Cu, Ag, and Au were analyzed. Out-of-plane anisotropies were determined by standard TOM methods, in-plane anisotropies from hard-axis magnetization loops. Since all anisotropies showed a clear linear dependence on reciprocal film-thickness, a straightforward separation of volume and surface type anisotropies could be performed. Volume anisotropies can be explained as a superposition of standard fourth-order magnetocrystalline and strain anisotropies, caused by residual strain of the Fe coincidence lattice on W. Surface anisotropies, both in-plane and out-of-plane, are related by Neel's model to the bulk magnetoelastic constants, to a surprisingly good approximation.read more

Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in Pd/Co and Pt/Co thin‐film layered structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe magnetization, resistivity, and x-ray diffraction data that consistently support sharper interfaces in Pd/Co thin-film layered structures (LS) than in Pt/Co LS.

Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of Co-Au multilayers induced by interface sharpening.
TL;DR: Co-Au multilayers with Co layer thicknesses between 22 and 5 \AA{}A, prepared by ion-beam sputtering, have an easy-plane magnetic anisotropy, which is attributed to a stronlgy enhanced interface anisotropic enhancement, due to sharpening of the interfaces as revealed by x-ray diffraction.

Spin anisotropy of ferromagnetic films
TL;DR: In this paper, the spin anisotropy of ferromagnetic monolayers of Fe, Ni, and V was calculated and it was shown that the easy direction of magnetization is perpendicular to the plane of the monolayer for Fe and V, but in the plane for Ni.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of FMR which incorporates magnetocrystalline surface anisotropy is outlined and successfully interprets the thickness dependence of the FMR data in the ultrathin (L≲50 A) regime and shows them to be surface dominated.
