Abstract
We investigated the magnetic properties of NixPd1−x films epitaxially grown on Cu3Au(100) surfaces. The films grow nicely layer-by-layer at higher Pd concentrations and exhibit a composition dependent inverse spin reorientation transition. Growth and magnetic properties are found to be strongly affected by the film strain.
