Summary

Magnetic circular dichroism in x-ray absorption is used to investigate the in-plane, remnant magnetization of well-characterized Ni{sub 0.48}/Au{sub 0.52} multilayers. Large superlattice strains are found in this multilayer system for samples with a 2nm layer pair spacing. A larger dichroism is found in the Ni 2p absorption edge for a 1.8 nm than for a 4.4 nm layer pair sample. The larger dichroism is consistent with a larger magnitude of in-plane strain for the Ni layers and a larger total magnetic anisotropy energy as previously shown from magnetization curves.
