At first the magnetization is nice and smooth until it gets to this point.
-
All of the grains have their magnetizations aligned in one of two possible states, which correspond to zeros and ones.
-
The fact that the Co content in the top layer was also depleted by a factor of two suggests that, as expected, the magnetization of Pt atoms is induced by neighboring Co atoms.

Etymology
Magnetization comes from magnet, named after the Greek place 'Magnesia' where magnetic stones were found, and the ending -ation 'the act or result'. So magnetization can mean the state or amount of being magnetic, or how strongly something is magnetized.
