Absence of stable collinear configurations in Ni(001)ultrathin films: canted domain structure as ground state

G. Gubbiotti, G. Carlotti, M. G. Pini +5

Brillouin light scattering (BLS) measurements were performed for (17-120) Angstrom thick Cu/Ni/Cu/Si(001) films. A monotonic dependence of the frequency of the uniform mode on an i…
