Multiple spin reorientation transitions and large in plane magnetic anisotropy in epitaxial Au/Co/Fe(1 1 0) films
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract We report on in-plane magnetic anisotropy in Au/Co/Fe(1 1 0) trilayers epitaxially grown on W(1 1 0). We observe single and double in-plane spin reorientation transitions that can be explained by the strongly non-monotonic dependence of magnetic anisotropy on the Co sublayer thickness. We point out the significant flexibility of the Au/Co/Fe(1 1 0) system for switching the in-plane easy axis of the magnetic anisotropy between the [ 1 1 ¯ 0 ] and [0 0 1] directions of the bcc(1 1 0) plane.
