摘要
The hysteretic behavior of interfacial magnetic moments for CoFe thin films with varying roughness is determined in an element specific manner by monitoring the applied magnetic field dependence of the specular and off-specular (diffuse) contributions to the x-ray resonant magnetic scattering signal. Increasing the interfacial roughness generates a larger variation of the relative coercive field associated with the interfacial moment in comparison to the bulk.
