ABSTRACTWe present a comparative in situ RHEED and Polar Magneto-optic Kerr Effect study of the first stages of the growth of a Au overlayer on top of a (111) Co ultrathin film. Drastic behaviours are evidenced on the RHEED diagram, Magnetic anisotropy and coercive force, around 1,5 ML of Au coverage.

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.
