Magnetic properties of epitaxial Fe/MgO structures on Si(100)

Surface Roughness Influence on Néel-, Crosstie, and Bloch-Type Charged Zigzag Magnetic Domain Walls in Nanostructured Fe Films

“…These parameters also allow researchers to control certain properties, such as interfacial diffusion [ 7 ], interface roughness [ 8 ], and possible strain due to lattice mismatch between films and substrates [ 9 ], all of them having a noticeable influence on the magnetic properties. Fe-based films have also demonstrated their suitability for magnetic tunnel junctions and spintronic applications [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. In particular, in previous studies we showed that nanostructured Fe thin films obtained by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), either planar or cylindrically shaped, exhibited high room temperature saturation magnetization and high magnetostriction as well as suitable responses for ultra-high-frequency applications [ 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

Effect of substrate temperature on the structural, static and dynamic magnetic properties of FeSi/MgO(001) films

“…effect [9][10][11][12]. For Single crystal or epitaxial soft films, such as (001)-oriented Fe [13], FeSi [14], La 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 [15] and Co-based Heusler alloys [16,17], have four-fold symmetric cubic magnetocrystalline anisotropy, which is closely dependent on the crystallographic direction. Nevertheless, the uniaxial anisotropy produced by interface effects coexists with the expected strong cubic magnetocrystalline anisotropy, which plays a crucial role in magnetization reversal and magnetic anisotropy [16][17][18].…”
