Abstract
ABSTRACTWe have characterized magnetization loops of epitaxially grown Gd (0001) films on W (110) in the temperature range 145≤T≤300K. This was accomplished by measuring magneto-optical Kerr loops in UHV, in the transverse geometry, using a 2×10-4 deg sensitivity differential detector and He-Ne laser light.Films grown in the Stranski-Krastanov (SK) Mode (growth temperature 400°C) and films grown in a Frank-van-der-Merwe (FM) like Mode (growth temperature 20°C) behave significantly differently. While the room temperature grown films (FM) show square hysteresis behavior only after an annealing cycle to at least 300°C, the higher growth temperature (SK) leads to highly remanent films in the as grown state.The hysteresis behavior of these films is most important in conjunction with recently reported spin-polarized photoemission results, which showed that the growth temperature and therefore the film morphology has a strong influence on the surface magnetic reconstruction of Gd (0001) [1].
