Magnetooptical Kerr effect (MOKE) is a powerful tool to determine magnetic properties of thin magnetic films. In some cases this technique is only applied to detect magnetization curves qualitatively. In order to perform a quantitative analysis we present MOKE measurements with s- and p-polarized incident light, using an external magnetic field either parallel or perpendicular to the plane of incidence of light and different orientations of the crystalline substrate. The processing of the data includes vectorial magnetometry as well as studies of the anisotropy constants and magnetic axes.
The investigated Co50Fe50 films of 50 nm thickness on MgO(001) are prepared with different annealing temperatures (RT up to 400C). On the one hand the films with lower annealing temperatures show typical magnetic reversal processes of samples with four-fold symmetry as expected for cubic crystal structures. On the other hand the film annealed at 400C presents an additional strong in-plane anisotropy, which is discussed in context of a classical free energy approach.
