13. The absence of CoO at the interfaces was confirmed by low temperature magnetisation measurements which indicated symmetric loops without any shift with respect to the origin of the axes. This indicate that the Co layers are free of any magnetic pinning.
14. The volume conservation of the cell was considered without taking into account the Poisson coefficient. The consequence is that the calculated lattice parameter along the growth axis is slightly overestimated.

19. P = 4 kOe is the plateau field), the plateau is due to the orientation of the net moment in the field, and not to the existence of the easy magnetisation axis along the field direction.
