Abstract

A method is developed to analyze the in-plane magnetic anisotropy from surface morphology for amorphous films. The lateral sizes along radial direction (R _RD ) and tangent direction (R _TD ) of rotational substrate, which are extracted from the surface morphology of Co _66.3 Zr _33.7 amorphous films, are used to calculate stress anisotropy energy E _σ . It is found that E _σ is consistent with the magnetic anisotropy energy K _μ for the samples deposited on Si (1 0 0) substrate and then a relationship K _μ ∝ 1/R _RD - 1/R _TD can be obtained. This method is sensitive to the initial state of substrate so its application range is discussed.
