The magnetic anisotropy of ultrathin Au/Co/Au magnetic films epitaxially grown on vicinal monocrystalline (11-20) sapphire substrates with different miscut angles covered with a Mo buffer are investigated by means of ferromagnetic resonance and magnetooptical techniques. Changes of in-plane magnetic anisotropy symmetry were deduced from shape analysis of the magnetization curves and angular dependence of the resonance field measured in the sample plane. Two-fold and four-fold symmetry was observed for different miscut angles. The preference of the domain wall orientation is observed. The experimental data are discussed taking into account the following energy contributions: (i) shape anisotropy; (ii) perpenducular uniaxial anisotropy; (iii) and step-induced uniaxial anisotropy.
