摘要：

Low-energy electron diffraction and Auger spectroscopy have been used to determine that ultrathin films of Co grow pseudomorphically on Ru(0001) at room temperature in an island structure. Co thicknesses of 1-14 MLE (monolayer equivalents) were explored. The expanded Co lattice relaxes to its bulk spacing after a 500-degrees-C anneal. In-situ surface magneto-optic Kerr-effect measurements show ferromagnetic hysteresis loops with in-plane easy axes of magnetization for film thicknesses > 4 MLE. Thinner films are presumably affected by superparamagnetism. Annealing or Au coating the thicker films induces an out-of-plane easy axis of magnetization.
