Magnetization reversal in ultrathin Pt(10 nm)/Co(0.6 nm)/Pt(3 nm) magnetic films and Pt(10 nm)/[Co(d)/Pt(1 nm)]n/ Pt(2 nm) (d = 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 nm, n = 2, 4) multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy has been studied using Kerr microscopy. These materials demonstrate unusual effects of activity asymme...
