Abstract

Abstract The negative anisotropic magnetoresistance that comes from the spin-down conduction electrons are observed in facing-target sputtered epitaxial γ ′-Fe 4 N films with different film thicknesses, substrates and orientations. Anisotropic magnetoresistance of γ ′-Fe 4 N films on LaAlO 3 (1 0 0) is larger than other substrates. The magnitude of anisotropic magnetoresistance in (1 0 0)-oriented films is always larger than (1 1 0)-oriented films. The anisotropic magnetoresistance is intimately related to the magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Fourier coefficient C 2 θ and C 4 θ of cos 2 θ and cos 4 θ terms strongly depend on the measuring temperature. No significant influence of magnetic field on C 2 θ and C 4 θ appears. The marked change of C 2 θ and appearance of C 4 θ at low temperatures are from crystal field splitting of d orbitals induced by the lattice change due to the tensile stress from substrate and the compressive stress from decreased temperatures.
