Magnetic anisotropy in Heusler alloy Fe3Si films on GaAs(113)A
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The magnetic anisotropy in thin Heusler alloy Fe3Si films on GaAs(1 1 3)A substrates is studied using superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry. The layers exhibit a dominant four-fold magnetic anisotropy with the easy axes along 〈 0 3 1 ¯ 〉 . The magnetic anisotropy constant K1 of stoichiometric samples is found to be (3.0±0.6)×104 erg/cm3, which agrees well with the reported values for bulk Fe3Si and Fe3Si/GaAs(0 0 1) films.
