摘要：

A compact ultrahigh-vacuum chamber, specially designed to allow in situ Brillouin light-scattering (BLS) and surface magneto-optical Kerr-effect measurements has been set up. Experimental results relative to both the structure and the magnetic properties of ultrathin Fe films grown by e-beam evaporation on a Cu(110) single crystal are presented. Low-energy electron diffraction patterns account for epitaxial growth of fcc Fe(110) up to 4-6 Angstrom, followed by a transition to a more disordered state, consisting of bcc Fe domains. The BLS analysis enabled us to study the dependence of the spin-wave frequency on the angle of incidence of light, on the intensity of the magnetic field, and on its direction on the surface plane.
