Transverse Magnetism Of The Diluted Antiferromagnet Fe1-Xmgxbr2 (X=0.15), Christian Binek Mar 2012

Transverse Magnetism Of The Diluted Antiferromagnet Fe1-Xmgxbr2 (X=0.15), Christian Binek

Christian Binek

Neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements of the diluted crystal Fe1−xMgxBr2 (xnot, vert, similar0.15) were performed. Successive phase transitions at zero applied field at TN1not, vert, similar12 K and TN2not, vert, similar10 K were found. A previous transverse term ferromagnetic moment was detected just below TN2.

Manipulation of magnetically ordered states by electrical means is a promising approach towards novel spintronics devices. We report on the electric control of surface magnetism in Cr2O3 thin films and uniaxial anisotropy in ferroelectric/ferromagnetic heterostructures, respectively. Artificial magnetoelectricity is realized in a BaTiO3/Fe heterostructure. Here, thermally induced coercivity changes of the Fe hysteresis loop are used to derive the stress imposed by the ferroelectric BaTiO3 substrate on the adjacent Fe film. Electrically induced coercivity changes give rise to a giant magnetoelectric susceptibility in the vicinity of the magnetic coercive field.
