Received 10 February 1997

We tabulate the wavelength dependence of the complex magneto-optic
constants for epitaxial fcc (001) and hcp (11-bar00) Co films with the
magnetization along two different in-plane crystallographic directions. The
magneto-optic constants of epitaxial hcp Co films are strongly dependent on
crystallographic direction for the same sample, while those of epitaxial
fcc Co films are not, as anticipated from the trends in the magnetic
anisotropy due to the spin-orbit interaction. Our results for (i) the
anisotropic magneto-optic constants, (ii) the magnetic anisotropy, and
(iii) the indices of refraction, are compared to other studies of Co.
