Morales.Nd-Co amorphous magnetic films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy have been grown on nanostructured templates prepared with self-organized di-block poly(styrene)-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) copolymer layers with a periodic structure of 60 nm spaced pores. These templates modify both the magnetic film topography and mechanical strain on a local scale. The effect of these structural changes is particularly noticeable in the low thickness range of the magnetic films where the transition from in-plane to out-of plane magnetization takes place. The Nd-Co films grown on the copolymer template present lower perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and, also, stronger stripe domain pinning effects in comparison with reference films grown on flat Si substrates.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4759276http://aip.scitation.orgopen access538.9Thin-filmsPhase-contrastArraysMultilayersMediaLithographyEnhancementTransitionFísica de materialesFísica del estado sólido2211 Física del Estado Sólido
