The effect of Pd and Ru seed layers on the magnetic properties of [Co/Ni]{sub N} multilayers with varying number of bilayer repeats N is investigated using vector network analyzer ferromagnetic resonance. The effective anisotropy field H{sub Keff} is found to increase with N for Ru seed, but decreases for Pd until N = 15. As N is increased beyond 15, H{sub Keff} decreases for both seeds. In contrast, the damping parameter α decreases with N regardless of the seed, showing a 1/N dependence. Taking spin pumping into account, the intrinsic damping α{sub 0} for both Pd and Ru seeds reduce to α{sub 0} ≈ 0.01. These results demonstrate that there can be a strong influence of the seed/Co interface on anisotropy, especially for sufficiently low N, but not necessarily on α{sub 0}.
