We study the spin reorientation process in cobalt using capacitance dilatometric measurements of the strain along the a- and c-axes of a single crystal and then apply a phenomenological theory of magnetostrictive interactions together with a theory of spin reorientation. We find no evidence of singularities in the behaviour at either of the temperatures at the beginning and end of this process. We calculate the temperature dependence of the magnetoelastic fourth-order single-ion anisotropy coefficient K4, and draw attention to the importance of higher order terms in the anisotropy.

Spin reorientation transition phenomena from out-of-plane to in-plane direction with increasing temperature are observed for the 500°C annealed CoPt/AlN multilayer films with different CoPt layer thicknesses. CoPt-AlN interface and volume anisotropy contributions, favoring out-of-plane and in-plane magnetization, respectively, are separately determined at various temperatures. Interface anisotropy exhibits much stronger temperature dependence than volume contribution, hence the temperature-driven spin reorientation transition occurs. Interface anisotropy in this work consists of Néel interface anisotropy and magnetoelastic effect. Magnetoelastic effect degrades rapidly and changes its sign from positive to negative above 200°C, because of the involvement of stress state in CoPt films with temperature. By contrast, Néel interface anisotropy decays slowly, estimated from a Néel mean field model. Thus, the strong temperature dependence of CoPt-AlN interface anisotropy is dominated by the change of magnetoelastic effect.
