Abstract
The demagnetizing field and magnetostatic energy of a thin film with surface roughness has been calculated. It is shown that the surface roughness gives rise to an effective perpendicular anisotropy whose order of magnitude is evaluated as a function of the parameters characterizing the roughness. The results are discussed in connection with experimental situations.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
