2-D and 3-D electronic states of Gd(0001) films lose long-range magnetic order in qualitatively different ways. A close relation was deduced between the defect density of Gd(0001) films and the initial state electronic density of states. The magnetic linear dichroism technique (p-level anisotropy) was established on more firm theoretical basis; the film thickness limitation was determined of the Ginzburg-Landau analysis employed. Co/Pd multilayers were fabricated using MOCVD; the layers exhibited magnetization density values 50% larger than previous literature values.
