Crossover between in-plane and perpendicular anisotropy in Ta/CoxFe100-x/MgO films as a function of Co composition

Interfacial magnetic anisotropy in Ta/Co[subscript x]Fe[subscript 100-x] (CoFe)/MgO films for alloy compositions spanning pure Co to pure Fe has been studied in order to investigate the role of chemical composition in the onset of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy at the CoFe/MgO interface. Out-of-p...
