Description

The temperature dependence of the magnetic anisotropy and the magnetization of 2-40 monolayers of Fe ultra-thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy on {4x6}GaAs(001) at room temperature has been investigated by means of in situ ferromagnetic resonance and in situ scanning superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry in ultrahigh vacuum at 400)=1.26+/-0.1x10-3J/m2 (649+/-51.5μeV/atom) and K2perpendicularv(T->0)=4+/-9x104J/m3 (3+/-7μeV/atom). A magneto-elastic model, which accounts for the measured effects is presented
