Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in the initial growth of epitaxial in-plane anisotropic Co ultrathin films on the ZnO (002) crystal surface was discovered. The critical thickness of weak spin reorientation transition phenomenon in deposition process from in-plane to out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy is around 2 nm. Ultrathin 1.2 nm Co film was stabilized by post-irradiation of low-energy N ions from the observation of hysteresis loop transforming from an S-shape soft magnetic state to a square hard magnetic state. The addition of N affected the magnetic behavior. The time-dependent nitridization process was observed using Auger electron spectroscopy. Magneto-optical Faraday effect measurements were used to observe the magnetic properties of high-transmission Co/ZnO (002) and Co–N/ZnO (002) surface. A strong polar magneto-optic Faraday effect was dominated in the 2.0–4.0 nm Co/ZnO (002) surfaces. From the N+ implantation that reduces the corresponding coercivity, a hexagonal c-axis lattice structure of Co with a preferred perpendicular anisotropy on the ZnO (002) surface may be explained.

Ultrathin films of Ni0.9Co0.1 were grown by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. By means of a periodic natural oxidation procedure they were transformed into Ni0.9Co0.1/NiCoO multilayers. Room temperature hysteresis loops recorded via the magneto-optic Kerr effect have revealed over all in-plane magnetic anisotropy due to magnetostatic anisotropy. Mild thermal annealing at 250 °C enhanced a tendency for perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, mainly due to an increase of the uniaxial volume anisotropy term. Spin reorientation transition, exchange bias larger than 700 Oe, and strong coercivity enhancement were observed via a superconducting quantum interference device at low temperatures after field cooling.

Theoretically, with the aid of a soliton model, the evolution of a new-phase nucleus near the first-order spin-reorientation phase transition in magnets has been investigated in an external magnetic field. The influence of an external field and one-dimensional defects of magnetic anisotropy on the dynamics of such nucleus has been demonstrated. The conditions for the localization of the new-phase nucleus in the region of the magnetic anisotropy defect and for its escape from the defect have been determined. The values of the critical fields which bring about the sample magnetization reversal have been identified and estimated.
