· J. Magn. Magn. Mater.
The purpose of this article is to stimulate interest in the power of the surface magneto-optic Kerr effect (SMOKE) technique to address a range of contemporary issues associated with the physics of interfacial magnetic materials. Magneto-optics is introduced from both historical and modern perspectives. Experimental considerations are briefly considered. Topics highlighted include the phases of face-centered Fe, the phenomenon of oscillatory magnetic coupling, the two-dimensional spin-reorientation transition, step-induced magnetic anistropies in FCC and BCC systems, and spin frustration at the interface between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic films.
