Magnetic Transitions in Lattice-matched, Ordered FePt 3 Based Antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic Films
Abstract
Measurements of lattice-matched antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic films which are ideal layered systems to study exchange bias are reported. Epitaxial films of FePt{sub 3} have two kinds of antiferromagnetic ordering. The spin ordering phase with wave vector Q{sub 1} = (1/2 1/2 0) has a Neel temperature T{sub N} = 160 K and that with wave vector Q{sub 2} = (1/2 0 0) has T{sub N} = 100 K. Neutron diffraction confirmed the presence of Q{sub 2} = (1/2 0 0) antiferromagnetic ordering in 200 nm Fe{sub 25}Pt{sub 75} grown on MgO(100). The loop shift and coercivity of a trilayer film of CoPt{sub 3}/FePt{sub 3}/CoPt{sub 3} decrease with increasing temperature, consistent with the observed Neel temperature of FePt{sub 3}. The x-ray diffraction rocking curve widths of films grown on MgO(100) and Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}(11{bar 2}0) are compared and related to the loop shifts that are observed in the films with lattice-matched antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic interfaces.
