Abstract
It has been the aim of this book to illustrate the potential of epitaxially grown ultrathin films. In particular, metal-on-metal heteroepitaxy has been investigated. After a summary of the growth, structure and magnetism of 3d ultrathin films on various metallic substrates, considerable space has been devoted to a few prototype systems, i.e., Fe films on Cu(100) and Mn films on Cu(100) and Ni(100), with the goal of establishing a close correlation between the structure, growth and magnetism of ultrathin metallic films.
