Abstract
Combined in situ structural and ex situ magnetic studies of the Co/NiO(111) interface are presented. The Co films were grown on NiO(111) single crystals. Structural studies were performed by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction during growth. The effect of the temperature of the substrate during deposition was investigated. Under specific growth conditions, an almost pure FCC Co film can be obtained. Magnetic measurements were performed ex situ by magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE). A strong correlation between the magnetic properties and the crystallographic structure of the Co film is evidenced. High coercive fields are measured for all samples.
