Abstracts

EN

The magnetic and elastic properties of epitaxially grown Mo/Co/Au trilayer systems were investigated by the Brillouin light scattering and a ferromagnetic resonance. Using both experimental methods the perpendicular uniaxial anisotropy and the effective in-plane twofold anisotropy contributions were determined as the function of the cobalt thicknesses. Acoustic phonons analysis shows that the elastic constants are decreased with increasing cobalt layer thicknesses.
