Abstract
Neel's phenomenological model of magnetic surface anisotropy is generalised to hexagonal close-packed structures in order to determine the magnetic surface anisotropy of cobalt. The results obtained are in fair agreement with experimental values for the Au(111)/Co interface. It is also shown that Neel's model allows the surface roughness to be easily taken into account.Keywords
