Magneto-optical spectra of long range chemically ordered FePd(001) alloy films

Abstract
Magneto-optical and magnetic properties of sputtered epitaxial FePd (001) alloy films have been studied as a function of the film deposition temperature. Characteristic changes in the magnetic anisotropies and Kerr effect spectra are observed and correlated with the degree of long range chemical ordering.G.A. thanks the DGICYES Spain for financial support.Peer reviewe
