We report on the experimental results of high-energy magnetic excitations in an ultrathin face-centered tetragonal (fct) Co film with a thickness of 2.8 monolayer (ML) grown on the (5×1) reconstructed Ir(100) surface. The magnon dispersion relation is measured along the main symmetry axes of the sureface Brillouin zone i.e. Γ-X and Γ-M directions. The excitation energy increases as the wave-vector increases and reaches a value of about 260 meV at the X-point and 310 meV at the M-point. By comparing the results to the ones of a 3 ML Co film grown on Cu(100), and also to the results of theoretical calculations, we discuss how the lattice strain and Co3d-Ir5d hybridizations of the electronic states influence the magnon dispersion relation.
