abstract = {We have investigated the influence of curvature on the
magnetic properties of a Co-Pd alloy bydepositing Co-Pd
alloy films, with different thicknesses, on monolayers of
silicon dioxide (SiO₂)nanospheres, and on flat silicon
substrates. The curved films exhibit enhanced magnetic
scatteringlength density (mSLD), particularly for the
thinner films, compared to the flat substrates. This
isattributed to curvature induced strain and orbital
hybridization, which boosts the local magneticmoment.
However, as film thickness increases, the structural order
of the nanosphere monolayersis disrupted, leading to rougher
morphology and eventual coalescence into continuous films.
SQUIDmagnetometry reveals that curvature alters magnetic
anisotropy by weakening or tilting perpendicularmagnetic
anisotropy (PMA) and increasing coercivity. Polarized
neutron reflectometry (PNR)confirms stronger in-plane
magnetization in curved films, and shows that thinner films
exhibit ahigher magnetic scattering length density (mSLD)
than thicker ones, due to enhanced interface effectsin the
ultrathin regime. Despite high structural ordering,
grazing-incidence small-angle neutronscattering (GISANS)
detects no lateral magnetic coherence or domain-related
scattering. Thisstudy highlights the significant role of
curvature in tuning the magnetic properties of CoPd
alloyfilms and underscores the combined power of PNR and
GISANS in probing magnetism in such systems.},
