In situ observation of the strain of Co and Ni deposited on Pd (111) by reflection high energy electron diffraction.

Reports on an in situ observation of the strain of cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni) deposited on palladium (Pd) (111) by reflection high energy electron diffraction. Monatomic layers of the interface between Co and Pd; Relationship between the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of Co/Pd and Ni/Pd multilayer films; Difference of lattice constant between Ni and Pd.
