Magnetocrystalline volume and interface anisotropies in epitaxial films: Universal relation and Néel’s model (invited)

Magnetocrystalline volume and interface anisotropies in epitaxial films: Universal relation and Néel’s model (invited)

The thickness dependence of the fourfold in-plane magnetic anisotropy was first observed in epitaxial Fe(001) films and described by the volume anisotropy of bcc Fe with a positive anisotropy constant (K1vol>0) superimposed by a negative interface term (K1int
