Influence of magnetic fields on the spin reorientation transition in ultra-thin films
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dependence of the spin reorientation transition in ultra-thin ferromagnetic films on external magnetic fields is studied. For different orientations of the applied field with respect to the film, phase diagrams are calculated within a mean field theory for the classical Heisenberg model. In particular we find that the spin reorientation transition present in this model is not suppressed completely by an applied field, as the magnetization component perpendicular to the field may show spontaneous order in a certain temperature interval.

On the reorientation transition of ultra–thin Ni/Cu(001) films
The reorientation transition of themagnetization of ferromagnetic films is studied on amicroscopic basis within aHeisenberg spinmodel. Using a modified mean field formulation it is possible to calculate properties of magnetic thin films with non–integer thicknesses. This is especially important for the reorientation transition in Ni/Cu(001), as there the magnetic properties are a sensitive func...
متن کاملA new type of temperature driven reorientation transition in magnetic thin films
We present a new type of temperature driven spin reorientation transition (SRT) in thin films. It can occur when the lattice and the shape anisotropy favor different easy directions of the magnetization. Due to different temperature dependencies of the two contributions the effective anisotropy may change its sign and thus the direction of the magnetization as a function of temperature may chan...
متن کاملReorientation phase transitions in thin magnetic films: a review of the classical vector spin model within the mean field approach
The ground state and the finite temperature phase diagrams with respect to magnetic configurations are studied systematically for thin magnetic films in terms of a classical Heisenberg model including magnetic dipole-dipole interaction and uniaxial anisotropy. Simple relations are derived for the occurrence of the various phase boundaries between the different regions of the magnetic orientatio...

In this paper a simple model calculation of spin wave is given for the ferromagtic layer in ultra thin ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic bilayer. In this model the magnetic layer is assumed as an isolated layer but the effect of antiferromagnetic layer on ferromagnetic layer and unidirectional anisotropy, is given in the effective field applied on each spin. The thin layer is assumed as two-dim...
