Abstract
Progress in high vacuum and ultra high vacuum material preparation techniques now allow the preparation of artificial structures consisting of ultra thin films of magnetic materials, as well as multilayer systems containing stacks of different materials, some of which being magnetic. In addition, many techniques are also now available for both the structural and magnetic characterization of these systems.
