“…Also, evidence was found for some degree of Ag Fe intermixing. The cluster formation was observed by STM on 4.5 ML thick Fe deposited on a Ag layer grown on GaAs substrate [30]. Cluster formation of Fe on Ag may also be expected because of the diffusion mediated adatom capture, as was observed even for Fe homoepitaxy on Fe(1 0 0) [31].…”

“…After the growth process, the films were annealed at 150°C for 30 min in order to improve the surface morphology. 9,10 To avoid contamination during the measurements, most samples were capped with a 5 ML thick Au layer. The magnetic anisotropy was probed by the in situ longitudinal ͑inci-dence angle 21°͒ and polar ͑incidence angle of 69°to the sample normal͒ magneto-optical Kerr effect ͑MOKE͒ with a laser diode of wavelength 670 nm and beam diameter Ͻ0.2 mm.…”

Large amplitude quantum oscillations of magnetic anisotropy in Fe films grown on Ag surfaces of high step density are reported. Distortion of the film structure by the steps is found to be responsible for the anisotropy modification which oscillates with increasing film thickness. The larger the distorted fraction of the film volume, the larger the observed amplitude of the anisotropy oscillations. Such dependence of the anisotropy oscillations on the step density offers an easy tool to manipulate the strength of the anisotropy and orientation of the easy magnetization axis.

“…There are different methods for the anisotropy engineering, changing, e.g. : (i) magnetic film thickness, d [1]; (ii) temperature [2][3][4]; (iii) buffer morphology, roughness [5][6][7]; (iv) film structure [8,9] or structure of the cover layer [10][11][12]; (v) composition [13,14]; (vi) surface-interface roughness [15]. The reorientation phase transition (RPT) from easy magnetization plane into easy magnetization axis can be realized.…”
