摘要
The effect of growth conditions on the magnetic anisotropy of Co/Pd multilayers was studied. Epitaxial [111] multilayers grown at elevated substrate temperature show perpendicular magnetization up to 16 angstrom Co layer thickness, due to a large interface anisotropy K(s). The results indicate that K(s) is mainly of the Neel-type. Also Co/X multilayers show perpendicular anisotropy with X = Pt, Au and Ir, but not for X = Cu, Ag and Mo. The possible contribution of lattice misfit strain to interface anisotropy is discussed. A test for the existence of this type of anisotropy in Ni/Pd and NiFe/Pd multilayers indicates that it may not be as strong as predicted by a recent theory.
