Abstract

Magnetization induced optical second harmonic generation (MSHG) in combination with the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) was used to study thin Co films and Cu/Co multilayers of thicknesses between 1 and 20 monolayers (ML) grown on a Cu(001) substrate. From the different dependence of MSHG and MOKE on Co film thickness we get direct information about the interface sensitivity of MSHG. Modifying the vacuum/Co interface by gas adsorption yields the relative contributions of the vacuum/Co and the Co/Cu(001)-substrate interfaces. Both MSHG and MOKE data can be accurately described by a multiple reflection model.
