Abstract

A full-thickness dependent, from two monolayers to bulk, absolute determination of the total magnetic moments of Co/Cu(001) films is carried out in situ with the help of UHV high-Tc SQUID magnetometer. The total moment is enhanced by 11% compared to the bulk value of 1.73μB/atom measured in the thick limit. These values agree perfectly with polarized neutron diffraction measurements for the bulk and confirm theoretical predictions for the ultrathin limit.
