Notes:
The effects of doping Ni into the Pt spacer layer on the polar Kerr rotation θk and perpendicular anisotropy Ku of the sputtered Pt/Co multilayers have been investigated. A similar tendency of the variations of Ku and θk with the doping concentration of Ni specifies that they arise from the same source, the spin-orbit coupling. An enhanced magneto-optical effect appears in Pt1−xNix/Co multilayers at x=0.08 and can be attributed to variation of the off-diagonal elements of the conductivity tensor. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
