Abstract

The magnetic properties of cobalt films deposited electrolytically on Au(1 1 1) have been studied by ferromagnetic resonance. A sixfold contribution of the magnetic anisotropy, much smaller than in bulk cobalt, is detected. The sixfold magnetic anisotropy of hcp(0 0 0 1) and fcc(1 1 1) Co decreases with increasing film thickness due to increasing misalignment of the preferred orientation of the Co crystallites.
