Our third article on roughness control of magnetic properties of thin films has just been accepted for publication. After the studies on NiFe thin films, we have now expanded the investigation to Fe and Co thin films. Once again, the results confirm the original conclusion that substrate roughness can induce some kind of surface magnetic anisotropy modifying significantly the magnetic properties of the films. An excellent result, especially to Michal as this brings him a step closer to his PhD VIVA.
