    Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in the Heusler alloy Co2TiSi/GaAs(001) hybrid structure
    (New York : American Institute of Physics, 2015) Dau, M.T.; Jenichen, B.; Herfort, J.
    Investigation of the thickness dependence of the magnetic anisotropy in B2-type Co2TiSi films on GaAs(001), shows a pronounced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy at 10 K for thicknesses up to 13.5 nm. We have evidenced that the interfacial anisotropy induced by interface clusters has a strong influence on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of this hybrid structure, especially at temperatures lower than the blocking temperature of the clusters (28 K). However, as this influence can be ruled out at higher temperatures, the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy which is found to persist up to room-temperature can be ascribed to the magnetic properties of the Co2TiSi films. For thicknesses larger than 15.0 nm, we observe an alignment of the magnetic easy axis parallel to the sample surface, which is most likely due to the shape anisotropy and the film structure.

    Research Update: Magnetoionic control of magnetization and anisotropy in layered oxide/metal heterostructures
    (New York : American Institute of Physics, 2016) Duschek, K.; Pohl, D.; Fähler, S.; Nielsch, K.; Leistner, K.
    Electric field control of magnetization and anisotropy in layered structures with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is expected to increase the versatility of spintronic devices. As a model system for reversible voltage induced changes of magnetism by magnetoionic effects, we present several oxide/metal heterostructures polarized in an electrolyte. Room temperature magnetization of Fe-O/Fe layers can be changed by 64% when applying only a few volts in 1M KOH. In a next step, the bottom interface of the in-plane magnetized Fe layer is functionalized by an L10 FePt(001) underlayer exhibiting perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. During subsequent electrocrystallization and electrooxidation, well defined epitaxial Fe3O4/Fe/FePt heterostructures evolve. The application of different voltages leads to a thickness change of the Fe layer sandwiched between Fe-O and FePt. At the point of transition between rigid magnet and exchange spring magnet regime for the Fe/FePt bilayer, this induces a large variation of magnetic anisotropy.
