Figure 5

(a) Magnetic anisotropy fields of H2 and H4 from ROTMOKE versus Ni thickness for vicinal Cu/Py/Ni/Cu(001) at different Py thicknesses. (b) H2(MpydPy + MNidNi) −  dPyand H4(MPydPy + MNidNi) as a function of Ni thickness. All curves in (a) collapse into a universal curve in (b), showing the validity of eqn. (6) and (7). However, the Ni films clearly have different anisotropy constants below ~5 ML and above ~6 ML thickness.
