| Popis: | Magnetic anisotropies of ultrathin transition‐metal films are inherently related to their structural properties. In ultrathin films the large fraction of atoms located at the film interface generates strong interface anisotropies, whereas elastic strain fields caused by the forced registry of atoms at the substrate/film interface induce magnetoelastic anisotropy contributions. So far the experimental confirmation of the transition from these thin‐film properties to bulk anisotropy properties, characterized by a dominating magnetocrystalline anisotropy, has not yet been presented. Magnetic anisotropies reflect, depending on their origin, both the crystallographic symmetry and the symmetry of the film geometry. For a clear separation between magnetoelastic, magnetocrystalline and Neel‐type interface anisotropy contributions, the film symmetry and thickness must be chosen such that the respective different anisotropy contributions appear with different symmetries and film thickness dependencies. This is the ... |
