Abstract

We consider the anisotropies due to coherency strains and the inilioliogcliotis stratlus associated with misfit dislocations, both of which give rise to anisotropy through maguctostrictive coupling. Coherency strains can give rise to anl apparent surface anisotrnpy due to the decrease in coherency strain with the film thickness. This anisotropy is comparable in magnitude to that observed experimentally for Fe [110] epitaxial thiut films on W [110]. The strain field associated with misfit dislocations produces a. surface anisotropy which is also comparable in magnitude to experimentally observed anisotropies. Dislocatioms along the inplane [001] and [110] directions both produce the same preferred direction of maguctization orientation.
