Abstract

6 to 80 Å thin Ni(111) films were prepared on smooth and rough W(110) substrates in UHV and characterized by LEED and Auger spectroscopies. The measurements of the magnetic properties were carried out in situ by ferromagnetic resonance at 9 GHz between 300 and 600 K. We found that the effective anisotropies, which consist of surface, crystal, and stress induced anisotropy, increase with decreasing film thickness and temperature. The roughness of the substrate results in the drastic decrease of the effective anisotropy. This is attributed to the change of the surface structure and the stress within the Ni films. Furthermore we found that the Curie temperature Tc and the critical exponent β of Ni films on the smooth and rough substrates show no change.
