Magnetic Properties of Ultrathin Co/Ag Films Investigated by Polarised Neutron Reflection

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Physics ((SPPHY,volume 61))

Abstract

We have used polarized neutron reflection to investigate the saturated in-plane magnetization of ultrathin single Co films incorporated into Ag/Co/Ag(001) epitaxial sandwich structures. Strong thickness dependences of the magnetization are observed and for Co thicknesses of 1 and 2ML we find ferromagnetic order at 5K with moments per Co atom close to 2.0μB, significantly exceeding the bulk hcp phase value of 1.7μB.
