ABSTRACTIn-situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) and Kerr microscopy are used to investigate the relations between structure, morphology, and magnetism in low-temperature (LT) grown Fe/Cu(100) films. At the spin reorientation thickness of ≈ 3.8 monolayers (ML) Fe/Cu(100) the coexistence of in-plane and out-of-plane magnetized domains is observed. For Fe thicknesses between 3.8 and 6 ML Fe/Cu(100). an irreversible spin reorientation from in-plane to out-of-plane can be induced by annealing up to 420 K. Annealing of LT-grown Fe/Cu(100) films is proposed to provide smooth surfaces for Cu/Fe/Cu(100) sandwich preparations.

ABSTRACTAnnealing of CoAV(110) ultrathin films causes rather strong changes of film morphology and magnetic properties, which has been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and alternating-current magneto-optical Kerr effect (ac-MOKE). Annealing above 500 K of room-temperature grown 2 monolayers (ML) thick Co/W(110) films leads to the formation of islands and a decrease of the Curie temperature 7C. At 4 ML, on the other hand, a network of interconnected islands is formed upon annealing, resulting in an enhanced TC. While the increase of TC at 4 ML is explained by an increase of the local film thickness, the anomalous TC behavior at 2 ML is assigned to the occurrence of superparamagnetism.
