Abstract
We demonstrate how the magnetic properties of metal/dielectric Co/yttrium iron garnet heterostructures can be engineered by both changing the garnet thickness and adding an ultrathin Co cover layer. The observed magnetization reversal process in the heterostructures is explained by both cubic and perpendicular growth-induced magnetic anisotropy of the garnet films. In particular, the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy can be strongly increased for reduced thickness. A strong influence of a 2 nm Co layer on the domain structure geometry and magnetization processes has been found for 1.8 µm garnet films.
