| Sputtered NiFe/Au/Co/Au layers with noncollinear magnetizations are of scientific interest for unusual magnetization behavior and their potential application in spintronics. In this paper, we propose to use a material selective sensitivity of magneto-optical Kerr effect for separation of signals from different materials in a bilayer system. The materials selective sensitivity is demonstrated on a sample with two mutually perpendicular Co and NiFe wedges. |
