Anomalous metamagnetic-like transition in a FeRh/Fe3Pt interface occurring at T ≈ 120 K in the field-cooled-cooling curves for low magnetic fields

Abstract

We report on the magnetic properties of a special configuration of a FeRh thin film. An anomalous behavior on the magnetisation vs. temperature was observed when low magnetic fields are applied in the plane of a thin layer of FeRh deposited on ordered Fe3Pt. The anomalous effect resembles a metamagnetic transition and occur only in the field-cooled-cooling magnetisation curve at temperatures near 120 K in samples without any heat treatment
