Tailoring perpendicular magnetic coupling by XMCD

The elemental perpendicular magnetic anisotropy constants of both elements of a 20 nm bcc Co88Mn12 alloy film grown on MgO(001) and capped with Al, have been determined. By fitting a Stoner-Wohlfarth astroid model to the measured Co and Mn L3 XMCD peak intensities as a function of incidence photon a...
