66. The MOKE spectrum of the Co film presently studied differs from the previously published [S. Uba, L. Uba, R. Gontarz, V. N. Antonov, A. Ya. Perlov, and A. N. Yaresko, J. Magn. Magn. Mater. 140-144, 575 (1995)] due to the smaller film thickness of the later and known dependences of MOKE on the film microstructure
