Abstract
We report on static and dynamic magneto‐optical measurements of the magnetization in ultrathin cobalt films deposited on Au (111). Their large Faraday rotation associated to the squareness of their magnetic hysteresis loop makes these samples very promising as magneto‐optical storage media.Keywords
