Magnetic and magneto‐optical properties of cobalt‐platinum alloys with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of the static signal levels R×(θk2+ek2)1/2 of Co/Pt multilayers and alloys shows an overall 50% enhancement in the case of alloys.

Relationship between Kerr effect and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in Co1−xPtx and Co1−xPdx alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, an anisotropy model based on growth induced heterogeneities in these alloys is proposed, and a functional relationship between Ku and the Kerr rotation contributions ΔΘ KPt,Pd arising from exchange polarized Pt and Pd, respectively, is established.

Spin-reorientation transitions in ultrathin Co films on Pt(111) and Pd(111) single-crystal substrates
TL;DR: In this paper, the spin-reorientation transition (SRT) behaviors in ultrathin Co films grown on both Pt(111) and Pd(111), single-crystal substrates are investigated with in situ magneto-optical Kerr effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magneto-optical properties of metallic ferromagnetic materials
TL;DR: In this article, the magneto-optical Kerr rotation in more than 200 metallic systems comprising alloys as well as intermetallic compounds of 3D transition metals was studied and the saturation moment at 4.2 K was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and magneto-optical Kerr effect of vapor-deposited Co/Pt-layered structures
TL;DR: In this article, the magneto-optical (MO) polar Kerr effect of Co/Pt multilayers was investigated on glass or Si substrates, and it was shown that the Kerr effect increases towards shorter wavelengths and thus favors future higher density recording.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic interface anisotropy in Pd/Co and Pd/Fe multilayers
TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic anisotropy of both types of thin films can be interpreted by assuming an interface contribution which favours a perpendicular magnetization, and a volume contribution that favours an in-plane magnetization.
