摘要：

We have studied the effect of depositing Cu overlayers onto CO gas dosed Co/Cu(110) ultrathin films (6 < d(Co) < 30 monolayers). We find that submonolayer Cu coverages can completely reverse the in-plane 90 degrees easy axis switch caused by the CO adsorption for all Co thicknesses studied and for sufficiently thick Co films (d(Co) > 15 monolayers). This enables us to "controllably engineer" the direction of the easy axis at a constant Co thickness.
