Large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of single Co atom on MgO monolayer: A first-principles study

Journal Article Shao, Bin ; Shi, Wu-Jun ; Feng, Min ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Realizing the magnetic bit with a single atom is the ultimate goal for magnetic storage. Based on density functional theory, the magnetic anisotropy (MA) of single Co atom on MgO monolayer has been investigated. Results show that this two dimensional system possesses a large perpendicular MA, about 5.8 meV per Co atom. Besides, there exists remarkable unquenched orbital moments for different magnetization directions, which can be attributed to the reduction of coordination number in two dimensional system and is responsible for the enhanced MA. The Bloch pseudo-wavefunction and band structure of Co d-orbitals have been calculated to elucidate the origin ofmore » the perpendicular MA.« less

Room-temperature perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of MgO/Fe/MgO ultrathin films

Journal Article Kozioł-Rachwał, A. ; Ślęzak, T. ; Przewoźnik, J. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

We used the anomalous Hall effect to study the magnetic properties of MgO/Fe(t)/MgO(001) structures in which the Fe thickness t ranged from 4 Å to 14 Å. For the iron deposited at 140 K, we obtained perpendicular magnetization at room temperature below the critical thickness of t{sub c} = (9 ± 1) Å. In the vicinity of t{sub c}, the easy magnetization axis switched from an out-of-plane orientation to an in-plane orientation, and the observed spin-reorientation transition was considered in terms of the competition among different anisotropies. The perpendicular magnetization direction was attributed to magnetoelastic anisotropy. Finally, the temperature-dependent spin-reorientation transition was analyzed for Fe thicknesses close tomore » t{sub c}.« less

Giant enhancement of orbital moments and perpendicular anisotropy in epitaxial Fe/GaAs(100)

Journal Article Xu, Y B ; Tselepi, M ; Guertler, C M ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The spin and orbital magnetic moments and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of 8 and 33 monolayer epitaxial bcc Fe films grown on GaAs(100)-4{times}6 have been measured using x-ray magnetic circular dichronism and polar magneto-optical Kerr effect. Both the films have approximately the same spin moments of about 2.0{mu}{sub B} close to that of the bulk value. The ultrathin film shows a giant orbital moment enhancement of about 300% with respect to the bulk value and a perpendicular interface anisotropy field H{sub s}{sup Fe{endash}GaAs} of the order of {minus}5{times}10{sup 4}Oe. This may be partially due to an increased degree of localizationmore »« less

Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy at the interface between ultrathin Fe film and MgO studied by angular-dependent x-ray magnetic circular dichroism

Journal Article Okabayashi, J. ; Koo, J. W. ; Mitani, S. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Interface perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in ultrathin Fe/MgO (001) has been investigated using angular-dependent x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). We found that anisotropic orbital magnetic moments deduced from the analysis of XMCD contribute to the large PMA energies, whose values depend on the annealing temperature. The large PMA energies determined from magnetization measurements are related to those estimated from the XMCD and the anisotropic orbital magnetic moments through the spin-orbit interaction. The enhancement of anisotropic orbital magnetic moments can be explained mainly by the hybridization between the Fe 3d{sub z}{sup 2} and O 2p{sub z} states.

Orbital magnetic moments of Co in multilayers with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

Journal Article Weller, D ; Wu, Y ; Stoehr, J ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter; (United States)

The out-of-plane orbital magnetic moment of Co in Co/[ital X] multilayers ([ital X]=Pd, Pt, and Ni) with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy has been investigated using x-ray magnetic-circular-dichroism spectroscopy. The orbital [ital d] moment per Co atom, [ital m][sub orb][sup [perpendicular]], is considerably enhanced by (0.15[plus minus]0.02)[mu][sub [ital B]] and (0.07[plus minus]0.02)[mu][sub [ital B]] in Co/Pd and Co/Pt multilayers, respectively, compared with a single thick Co film. No respective enhancement is found in the case of Co/Ni. This enhancement does [ital not] scale with the spin-orbit coupling parameter [xi][sub SO] of Ni-3[ital d], Pd-4[ital d], and Pt-5[ital d] bands despite strong [italmore »« less
