Abstract

Single-crystal Co/Cr(001) superlattices grown by molecular beam epitaxy exhibit a large perpendicular interface anisotropy. We have observed antiferromagnetic alignment of the Co layer magnetizations both for in-plane and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Using absolute minimum calculations of the anisotropy energy we found highly asymmetric spin structures in the superlattices.
