Abstract
A systematic study of the structure and magnetism of epitaxial iron films deposited on Cu(100) is reported. For clean room-temperature growth conditions a succession of our different crystalline reconstructions is observed, which appear to be related uniquely to four different magnetic behaviors, as detected by magnon light scattering and the magneto-optical Kerr effect.Keywords
