Reflection high-energy electron diffraction patterns, atomic force microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analyses established that a quasi-two-dimensional layer-by-layer growth mode is achieved. We observe a strong magnetic anisotropy in the film with an easy axis along the [0 0 1] direction. The uniaxial (KU) and cubic (KC) anisotropy constants are obtained through the fitting of the hard axes along the [0 1 1] and directions of the magnetization curves. A Curie temperature of 100 K is obtained from the temperature-dependent remanent-magnetization measurement. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd. | Source Title: | Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/82798 | ISSN: | 00223727 | DOI: | 10.1088/0022-3727/41/4/045002 |
