The effect of stress and magnetostriction on the anisotropy of CoNi/Pt multilayers

An attempt is made to correlate the effective magnetic anisotropy of sputtered CoNi/Pt multilayers to the average stress in the thin film. It was found that compressive film stress decreases the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.
