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.

AbstractWe have improved previous model calculations of the prominence-corona transition region including the effect of the ambipolar diffusion in the statistical equilibrium and energy balance equations. We show its influence on the different parameters that characterize the resulting prominence theoretical structure. We take into account the effect of the partial frequency redistribution (PRD) in the line profiles and total intensities calculations.

There is currently great interest in magnetic multilayer (ML) thin films (see e.g.), because they display some interesting magnetic properties. Co/Pd and Co/Au ML systems exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy below certain Co layer thicknesses, which makes them candidates for applications in the field of magneto-optical recording. It has been found that the magnetic anisotropy of a particular system strongly depends on the preparation method (vapour deposition, sputtering, ion beam sputtering) as well as on the substrate, underlayer and deposition temperature. In order to get a better understanding of the correlation between microstructure and properties a thorough cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) study of vapour deposited Co/Pd and Co/Au (111) MLs was undertaken (for more detailed results see ref.).The Co/Pd films (with fixed Pd thickness of 2.2 nm) were deposited on mica substrates at substrate temperatures Ts of 20°C and 200°C, after prior deposition of a 100 nm Pd underlayer at 450°C.
