Abstract
In Tb/Co multilayers, the saturation magnetization Ms and the anisotropy constant Ku as a function of the modulation period are fitted by a mean-field model and a dipolar interaction model respectively. The Kerr rotation angles θk relax at room temperature, which could be attributed to the existence of shear stress due to lattice mismatch at the interface.
