The effect of annealing temperature on the magnetic anisotropy in Co ultrathin film on MgO(001) substrate

Co epitaxial thin films with 2.5nm thickness were prepared on single-crystal MgO(001) substrates and annealed at different temperatures. The contribution of each interface of the MgO/Co/Cu trilayer to the in-plane magnetic anisotropy (IMA) was studied by changing interfacial coupling through anneali...
