Abstract
We investigated the magnetic anisotropy of bare and Pd-capped Fe ultra-thin films on the Pd(001) single crystal substrate using soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy. XMCD spectra indicate that the spin reorientation transition (SRT) occurs in Fe/Pd(001). It is suggested that the SRT in Fe/Pd(001) is related to the film morphology. In Pd/Fe/Pd(001), in-plane magnetic anisotropy was observed. No evidence of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was obtained, which is in contrast to the L10-ordered FePd alloy.
