Boundary magnetization properties of epitaxial Cr2−xAlxO3 thin films

Boundary magnetization properties of epitaxial Cr2−xAlxO3 thin films" The magnetoelectric antiferromagnet α-Cr 2 O 3 (chromia) is known to possess a roughness insensitive net equilibrium magnetization at the (0001) surface, called boundary magnetization (BM), which is coupled to the bulk antiferromagnetic order parameter. In order to verify whether this symmetry sensitive BM persists in alloys,...

In-plane reorientation of magnetization in epitaxial exchange biased Fe/MnPd bilayers

We investigated the in-plane reorientation of magnetization in epitaxial Fe/MnPd bilayers. The samples with various thicknesses of MnPd and Fe layers present a conventional square and an unusual two-step exchange biased hysteresis loops at different temperature. The shape of the loops is reproduced using the coherent rotation model and including the relative orientation of the uniaxial anisotro...

Probing the magnetization reversal in epitaxial Fe/IrMn exchange biased bilayers using angle-dependent anisotropic magnetoresistance

Angular dependence of magnetization reversal process in exchange biased epitaxial MnPd/Fe bilayers

We investigated the angular dependence of magnetization reversal in epitaxial MnPd/Fe bilayers grown on MgO 001 using combined longitudinal and transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect. Square loops, asymmetrically shaped loops, and double-shifted loops were observed as the field orientation was varied from parallel to perpendicular to the bias direction. Additionally, including the effect of an ...

Thrombogenesis: an epitaxial phenomena. I.

A semiempirical epitaxial model has been derived which correlates and interrelates the surface free energy, ultrastructural morphology, surface charge, surface chemistry, and surface molecular motions of a model triblock copolymer to thrombogenesis. This paper addresses the aspect of: (1) ultrastructure order versus disorder, (2) primary and secondary molecular motions, (3) surface and side cha...
