Abstract

Grazing incidence and asymmetric X-ray diffraction were used to measure the stress and strain state of Fe(110)/Mo(110) Multilayers. The highest stress in the Fe constituent of the multilayer was along the [110] in-plane direction and was due to interaction with the substrate. The Magnetic anisotropy of the Fe Multilayer constituent was measured and the magnetic surface anisotropy, which favored in-plane [001] magnetization, was deduced. In contrast, the magnetic surface anisotropy of a single layer of Fe on W preferred in-plane [110] magnetization, in agreement with the Néel Model.
