Caption

A magnetic nanofilm (~3 nm thick cobalt) was deposited while the substrate was stretched along the x direction. When the substrate was released to its relaxed state, the atomic spacing in the x direction contracted (schematic, top right). The magnetization curves measured with magnetic fields applied parallel and perpendicular to the x direction differ significantly, demonstrating that magnetic anisotropy is embedded in the film (bottom)[Appl. Phys. Lett. 127, 062407 (2025)].
