Magnetic surface anisotropies

Ulrich Gradmann

A review is given on experimental methods to determine magnetic surface 
anisotropiesd, and on experimental results for well-defined single-crystal 
surfaces, both for out-of-plane and in-plane magnetic surface 
anisotropies. Results are compared with Neel's phenomenological theory.
