Anatomy and Giant Enhancement of the Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy of Cobalt–Graphene Heterostructures

Anatomy and Giant Enhancement of the Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy of Cobalt–Graphene Heterostructures

We report strongly enhanced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) of Co films by graphene coating from both first-principles and experiments. Our calculations show that graphene can dramatically boost the surface anisotropy of Co films up to twice the value of its pristine counterpart and can extend the out-of-plane effective anisotropy up …
