Abstract
In order to explain the magnetic surface anisotropy (MSA) observed on Au/Co/Au sandwiches, we make theoretical calculations, in the frame of band theory. We also study the effect of roughness and of lattice mismatch between the film and the substrate, and show that they can give significant contributions to the MSA.
