Abstract

The in-plane magnetic anisotropy of ultrathin Fe films on a vicinal Mo(110) substrates was investigated. The in situ surface magneto-optical Kerr effect in conjunction with scanning tunneling microscopy and low-energy electron diffraction were used for the investigation. It was found that the uniaxial anisotropy with the easy axis of magnetization along the [001] direction was down to nearly 2 monolayers coverage. It was also found that the easy axis of a step-induced anisotropy coincides with the surface step edges.
