N2 - The magnetization of Co/Pt and Co/Au multilayers has been measured as a function of temperature. For the Co/Pt multilayers with fixed cobalt sublayer thickness of 4, 6 and 8 Å, the magnetization decreases faster with temperature as the platinum layers are made thicker. In contrast the magnetization of the Co/Au multilayers is nearly independent of the Au thickness in a range from 8 to 40 Å with a Co thickness of 6 Å and remain almost constant up to 500 K. Interlayer coupling and interdiffusion are discussed as possible causes for the observed behaviour.
