Abstract

Magnetic properties of the Co/Ag/Ge(1 0 0) films grown at room temperature and 200 K were studied by the surface magneto-optical Kerr effect (SMOKE). More than 1.5 monolayer Ag buffer layers not only effectively block the interdiffusion between the capped Co layers and the Ge(1 0 0) substrate but also stabilize the magnetic phase. The temperature and thickness dependence on coercivity measurements show that interactions upon the interfaces are strongly correlated to the microstructures.
