The magneto-optic signal of organic molecular thin films is expected to be rather small. Therefore, a high sensitivity is required to measure the magnetic susceptibility of thin molecular layers. In this work we present the implementation of a sinusoidal modulation of the magnetic field to a Reflectance Difference Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect (RD-MOKE) setup with increased sensitivity that allows detecting of variations of the Kerr rotation angle below 1 µrad/mT at applied fields of a few mT. We illustrate the capabilities of the setup for Ni thin films grown on Cu(110)-(2x1)O surfaces, which exhibit a sharp spin reorientation transition (SRT) of the magnetic easy axis from in-plane to out-of-plane at a coverage of 9 ML. Subsequent deposition of cobalt tetramethoxyphenylporphyrin (CoTMPP) on Ni/Cu(110)-(2x1)O surface induces characteristic changes in the magnetic properties that can be monitored in real-time during the growth of the organic layer. Our results demonstrate the potential of the setup for studying ultrathin organic/ferromagnetic interfaces.
