Abstract
The effect of vicinal substrates on the growth-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of epitaxial CoPt3 films has been studied. A small (2°, 4°, or 10°) miscut angle of the vicinal substrate causes the crystallographic axes of the sample to be tilted along the miscut direction. The magnitude of the perpendicular anisotropy is unaffected by the presence of substrate steps produced by the miscut angle, while an additional, in-plane anisotropy develops with a larger miscut angle. Effects of the steps are seen in magnetic force microscopic images of domain wall pinning.
