Abstract

We have setup a compact and useful in-situ SMOKE system in order to study surface magnetism of ultra-thin films. Since the longitudinal or polar magnetic fields can be applied to the sample by just rotating the sample manipulator, It is very simple to take hysteresis curve for in-plane or polar surface magnetism. The SMOKE system was tested by investigating the surface magnetism of ultra-thin Co film deposited on Pt(111) surface.
