Tuning Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy by Oxygen Octahedral Rotations in $({La}_{1 - x} {Sr}_{x} {MnO}_{3}) / ({SrIrO}_{3})$ Superlattices

Journal Article Yi, Di ; Flint, Charles L. ; Balakrishnan, Purnima P. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) plays a critical role in the development of spintronics, thereby demanding new strategies to control PMA. Here we demonstrate a conceptually new type of interface induced PMA that is controlled by oxygen octahedral rotation. In superlattices comprised of La1-xSrxMnO 3 and SrIrO 3 , we find that all superlattices (0≤x≤1) exhibit ferromagnetism despite the fact that La1-xSrxMnO 3 is antiferromagnetic for x > 0.5. PMA as high as 4×106 erg/cm3 is observed by increasing x and attributed to a decrease of oxygen octahedral rotation at interfaces. We also demonstrate that oxygen octahedral deformation cannot explain themore »« less

Giant perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy of 3d transition-metal thin films on MgO

Journal Article Nakamura, Kohji ; Ikeura, Yushi ; Akiyama, Toru ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) of the Fe-based transition-metal thin films was investigated by means of first principles full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. A giant perpendicular MCA (PMCA), up to 3 meV, was confirmed in a 7-layer Fe-Ni film/MgO(001), where an Fe{sub 2}/Ni/Fe/Ni/Fe{sub 2} atomic-layer alignment with a bcc-like-layer stacking and the Fe/MgO interfaces play key roles for leading to the large PMCA. Importantly, we find that the PMCA overcomes enough over the magnetic dipole-dipole anisotropy that favors the in-plane magnetization even when the film thickness increases.
