Abstract
Torque measurements were carried out on Ni-Ag multilayers in the temperature range 6 to 300 K. From the analysis of the torque curves both magnetization (M) and anisotropy (Ku) were obtained. The Ku values thus obtained for tNi > 4 nm are in good agreement with FMR data. For tNi < 3 nm, a small in-plane anisotropy of the order of 1 x 106 erg.cm-3 is obtained at 6 K.
