Abstract

   A new method of interpreting the data produced by vectorial
   magnetometry using the magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) is described.
   The procedure allows the angle between the magnetisation and the
   applied field to be measured independently of the applied field.
   Rotation of the sample generates a curve similar to that produced by a
   torque magnetometer. The technique is applied to sputtered Si/Co/Cr/Co
   trilayers, and the curves are analysed using a fitting method to
   measure the ratio of the magnetisation to the uniaxial anisotropy
   constant, providing an insight into the effects of thermal annealing
   on the samples.
