Phase transitions in ferro–antiferromagnetic bilayers with a stepped interface
Source abstract
Abstract
We have studied magnetic ordering in ferro/antiferromagnetic (F/AF) bilayers using Monte Carlo simulations of classical Heisenberg spins. For both flat and stepped interfaces we observed order in the AF above the Neel temperature, with the AF spins aligning collinearly with the F moments. In the case of the stepped interface there is a transition from collinear to perpendicular alignment of the F and AF spins at a lower temperature.
