Surface magneto-optical studies of ultrathin ferromagnetic films
Abstract
The surface magneto-optic Kerr effect is used to study the existence of monolayer magnetism and the surface magnetic anisotropy of epitaxial films of Fe deposited on Cu(100), Ru(0001), and Pd(100). The critical behavior of Fe/Pd(100) is also characterized and found to be in agreement with 2-D Ising-model results.
