    Notes: Ultrathin films of 3d-transition metal alloys, and in particular FeCo alloys, currently receive considerable interest because of their potential technological application and the possibility to adjust magnetic properties via the variation of composition and structure. To study magnetic and structural properties of the otherwise unstable fcc phase of FeCo, this structural phase was stabilized by epitaxial growth on Cu(001). Ultrathin FexCo1−x films were deposited at room temperature by coevaporation from two separate Knudsen cells, operated under stabilized conditions. The film thickness was varied between 2 and 9 monolayers (ML) and the Fe concentration between x=0.2 and x=0.95. The growth process was monitored by medium energy electron diffraction (MEED). Auger electron spectroscopy and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) were employed to analyze the composition and structure of the films. A nearly perfect layer-by-layer growth up to at least 9 ML, as seen by MEED, is encountered for x≤0.7. For higher Fe concentrations and thicknesses greater than 4 ML, deviations from the layer-by-layer growth are observed, indicating a structural rearrangement. LEED-I(V) curves reveal the coexistence of two structural phases with different interlayer spacings, the relative amount of which depends on the composition. Magnetic properties were characterized by the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE). The remanent magnetization was found to lie within the film plane over the whole range of thicknesses and concentrations investigated.A linear increase of the Kerr signal at saturation magnetization with increasing thickness indicates that practically the whole film is magnetic. As a function of composition, the saturation Kerr signal develops continuously with increasing Fe content. This suggests that in fcc FeCo alloys the contribution of Fe and Co to the total magnetic moment is nearly constant over the whole compositional range. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An experimental and theoretical study of magnetic circular dichroism in valence band photoemission from 15 monolayer thick fcc Ni films on Cu(001) is presented. A highly symmetric configuration (light incidence, electron emission, magnetization direction, photon helicity, and surface normal all parallel) allows the illustrative interpretation of the dichroism in terms of the relativistic band structure. Photoemission experiments in the photon energy range of 11–27 eV are compared to fully relativistic one-step photoemission calculations. From this comparison, the dichroic features can be directly related to the double group symmetry of the initial states, which is demonstrated by two examples. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Magnetic dichroism measurements of the valence bands of films of fcc Co/Cu (001) have been performed using angle-resolved UV photoemission in low-symmetry, off-normal emission geometries, and linearly polarized light. Asymmetries of magnitude 4% are observed upon magnetization reversal. Evidence of both spin-dependent surface transmission and magnetic dichroism in the angular distribution of photoelectrons is seen. The asymmetry spectra indicate sensitivity to both magnetic exchange splitting and to spin–orbit splitting. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A simple Kerr microscope designed for in situ investigation of magnetic ultrathin films in ultrahigh vacuum environment is described. The system permits quick visualization of domain patterns with 10 μm lateral resolution. Simultaneous optical magnetometry is also possible. The performance of the system is illustrated with domain images in a few layers thick Fe films on Cu(001) and W(110). © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Magnetization induced optical second harmonic generation is used to investigate the surface magnetic properties during the layer-by-layer growth of Co films on Cu(001). The second harmonic (SH) signal changes as a function of Co thickness and an oscillatory behavior of the SH asymmetry with one monolayer period is observed for the transverse Kerr-geometry and s-polarized incident light, while the average SH signal has no such oscillations. The magnetization induced SH signal at half filled layers is enhanced with respect to that of filled layers, which agrees with the enhancement of magnetic moment of edge atoms and the higher step density at half filled layers. Its dependences on the growth rate and temperature are discussed. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Ni/Cu(100) films were prepared by thermal deposition at room temperature (RT) and 170 K low temperature (LT) separately to study the influence of substrate temperature on the spin reorientation. The critical thickness of the LT grown films is observed to be about 1 ML smaller than that of the RT films. Though both types of films show similar tetragonal distortion and chemical composition, their morphology differs dramatically: the island density of the LT films is significantly higher than that of the RT films. We use this to interpret the different magnetic behavior between the RT and LT films. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The thickness dependence of the magneto-elastic coupling B1, the intrinsic film stress, and the magnetic in-plane anisotropy K4 of Fe films on W(100) are measured with an in situ combination of a highly sensitive optical deflection technique with magneto-optical Kerr-effect measurements. We find that both B1 and K4 depend strongly on the Fe film thickness. The thickness dependence of B1 can be described by considering a second order magneto-elastic coupling constant D=1 GJ/m3 as a strain dependent correction of B1. We tentatively ascribe the deviation of K4 from its bulk value to the tetragonal lattice distortion caused by an effective tensile in-plane strain of 5.3% in the pseudomorphic region and of 0.2% in thicker films. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The finite-temperature magnetism of ultrathin films such as sesquilayer Fe/W(110) and submonolayer Fe/Cu(111) is investigated. Based on renormalizations of Onsager's exact solution of the two-dimensional Ising model it is shown that superparamagnetism is a common phenomenon in imperfect ultrathin films. The ultimate reason for this behavior is the existence of two structural length scales: the lattice constant, usually considered in renormalization-group theory, and the characteristic size of the film inhomogeneities.© 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We developed a Kerr microscope designed as a simple add-on device to an existing vacuum chamber with sufficient sensitivity to permit in situ domain imaging for magnetic films grown in an ultrahigh vacuum environment. The performance of this microscope will be demonstrated by domain images obtained on Fe films deposited on Cu(001) and W(011). For systems with perpendicular magnetization sufficient signal/noise ratio (5) and 10 μm resolution can be obtained with single exposures as short as 0.7 s. This permits simultaneous acquisition of spatially resolved magnetometry data. Image averaging is used when the magnetization is in-plane. Monolayer sensitivity can be obtained in both cases. Examples of domain nucleation and wall propagation in several layer thick Fe/Cu(001) films will be given together with the estimation of their Barkhausen length. Wedge configuration was used to image magnetic behavior in the vicinity of the spin–reorientation transition. Preliminary data for domain wall behavior in 4 monolayer Fe/W(001) film with strong uniaxial in-plane anisotropy will also be presented.© 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report on the artificial fabrication of stacked monolayers of Fe/Cu on Cu(100) by pulsed laser deposition at 300 K employing reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). In contrast to the thermally deposited films, an improved two dimensional growth of the Fe and Cu layers has been achieved by virtue of the dynamics of the pulsed laser deposition technique. The observed RHEED oscillations for each Fe and Cu layer and their growth mode as studied by scanning tunnelling microscopy indicate layer-by-layer growth. The magnetic properties studied by magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements show that the easy axis of magnetization is in plane with no specific anisotropy observed in the plane. Ferromagnetic response was absent for thicknesses less than 2 ML in total within the measured temperature range down to 100 K. The Curie temperature increases from 225 K for a trilayer Fe/Cu/Fe to 400 K for a total layer thickness of 10 ML. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
