✦ Synopsis

The interface structure and magneto-optical properties of Co/Pt multilayers were studied. An unusual increase of the Kerr rotation with increasing Pt thickness was found for a Pt thickness less than 0.72 nm. Through small-and large-angle X-ray diffraction analyses, we suggest that this enhancement of Kerr rotation may be due to the intermixing of Pt and Co atoms at the interface, which causes a larger population of the polarized Pt spins in the system.

## Abstract This work focuses on the structural and magnetic features of Pt–Co multilayers prepared by e‐beam evaporation. In order to examine interface and induced magnetism effects, the layer thickness was always kept under 4 monolayers. X‐ray diffraction spectra revealed the multilayer nature of
