Anomalous anisotropic magnetoresistance in epitaxial Fe3O4 thin films on MgO(100)
Studies of the angular dependence of the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) are reported for epitaxial films of magnetite (Fe3O4) grown on MgO (001) and also for single crystals of magnetite. The characteristic feature of the AMR is a two-fold symmetry at temperatures above 200 K. As the samples are cooled below 200 K, an additional set of peaks appears. These become dominant at lower temperat...
متن کاملXMCD Study of Epitaxial Magnetite Ultrathin Film on MgO ( 100 )
The spin and orbital magnetic moments of the Fe3O4 epitaxial ultrathin film synthesized by plasma assisted simultaneous oxidization on MgO(100) have been studied with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The ultrathin film retains a rather large total magnetic moment, i.e. (2.73±0.15)μB/f.u., which is ~ 70% of that for the bulk-like Fe3O4. A significant unquenched orbital moment up to (0.5...
متن کاملAnomalous strain relaxation behavior of Fe3O4/MgO „100... heteroepitaxial system grown using molecular beam epitaxy
Strain relaxation studies in epitaxial magnetite Fe3O4 thin films grown on MgO 100 substrates using high-resolution x-ray diffraction and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy reveal that the films remain fully coherent up to a thickness of 700 nm. This thickness is much greater than the critical thickness tc for strain relaxation estimated from mismatch strain. Anomalous strain rela...
متن کاملEPITAXIAL GROWTH OF Pt ( 001 ) THIN FILMS ONMgO ( 001 ) UNDER OXIDIZING CONDITIONS
Epitaxial Pt(001) thin films have been grown on MgO(001) substrates using dc magnetron sputtering with an Ar/0 2 mixture at 700'C. The width (FWHM) of the rocking curve of the Pt(002) peak is between 0.160 and 0.200, which is only 0.05' wider than that of the MgO (002) peak of the cleaved substrate. The film surface roughness is about 1 nm (rms) for a 240 nm thick Pt film. No grain structure co...
متن کاملMagnetic characterization of (001) and (111) Ni films epitaxially grown on MgO
One interesting application of epitaxial magnetic thin films is to use them as one of the electrodes in a spin-dependent tunneling junction, in order to use the magnetocrystalline anisotropy to define the required two states of the magnetization. [1] In our preliminary work, we prepared epitaxial magnetic films on copper buffer layers grown on silicon substrates. [2] The single crystalline qual...
