Abstract
Experimental evidence is given for a four-fold in-plane magnetic anisotropy of the p(1×1) Co monolayer epitaxially grown on a Cu(001) substrate. Temperature dependent hysteresis curves show the magnetization remaining almost constant up to 400 K and the coercive field drastically increasing as the temperature is decreased.
