Thickness-induced spin-reorientation originated from competing magnetic shape anisotropies

Engineering the surface morphology of magnetic film is one of the important methods to tune the magnetic anisotropy of ultrathin magnetic material. However, the influence of competing shape effects on magnetic anisotropy of ultrathin film is still not clearly demonstrated. Here, we investigated the...
