Magnetic properties of electrodeposited Fe/Au(1 1 1) layers: . in situ AGFM measurements
Résumé
The magnetization state of electrodeposited Fe/Au(1 1 1) layers is investigated during the growth using in situ alternating gradient force magnetometry. It is shown that perpendicular magnetization anisotropy occurs as long as the thickness tFe<2 ML. The effect of depositing Cu on top is also studied. Results are compared to those obtained with MBE layers and discussed in the light of preliminary STM investigations of Fe growth.
