Magnetic Compton profiles (MCPs) of Co/Au multilayers have been measured and analyzed by DV-Xαcluster model calculations from a viewpoint of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). The PMA and the MCPs are discussed for the presently obtained results for Co/Au, along with the previously obtained results for Co/Pd and Co/Pt. A Co/Au multilayer shows a weak PMA which is caused by |m|=1 states of Co 3d electrons at a smooth Co/Au interface. The increase of the interface-to-volume ratio plays the main role in determining the perpendicular anisotropy in Co/Au multilayers. The strain of a Co layer can have a secondary role in determining the magnetic anisotropy in Co/Au multilayers, although the strain dominates PMA in the case of Co/Pd and Co/Pt multilayers.
