The determination of multiple easy axes in magnetic multilayers with noncollinear spin structures using traditional hysteresis loop measurements at different angles is time consuming and problematic. We describe a simple and accurate method for determining the easy axis and remnant magnetization of each individual magnetic layer. By measuring the angular dependence of the x component of the remnant magnetization using a vector vibrating sample magnetometer and numerical fitting based on superposition of the remnant magnetizations, multiple easy axes can be determined with a resolution of about 0.1°. We demonstrate that multilayer samples with one, two, or even three easy axes can be determined with only one measurement of angular dependent remanence.
