AbstractIn the attempt of implementing iron garnets with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in spintronics, the attention turned towards strain-grown iron garnets. One candidate is Tm3Fe5O12 (TmIG) which possesses an out-of-plane magnetic easy axis when grown under tensile strain. In this study, the effect of film thickness on the structural and magnetic properties of TmIG films including magnetic anisotropy, saturation magnetization, and Gilbert damping is investigated. TmIG films with thicknesses between 20 and 300 nm are epitaxially grown by pulsed laser deposition on substituted-Gd3Ga5O12(111) substrates. Structural characterization shows that films thinner than 200 nm show in-plane tensile strain, thus exhibiting PMA due to strain-induced magnetoelastic anisotropy. However, with increasing film thickness a relaxation of the unit cell is observed resulting in the rotation of the magnetic easy axis towards the sample plane due to the dominant shape anisotropy. Furthermore, the Gilbert damping parameter is found to be in the range of 0.02 ± 0.005.

We explore the influence of pressure on the magnetic ground state of the heavy-fermion antiferromagnet (ferromagnet) CeAuSb 2 (CeAgSb 2 ) using first-principles calculations. The total-energy differences obtained by including the spin-orbit interactions and the on-site Coulomb potential for the Ce-derived 4f-orbitals are necessary to realize the accurate magnetic ground state of CeNMSb 2 (NM: Au and Ag). According to our results, the appearance of a new magnetic phase of CeAuSb 2 (CeAgSb 2 ) at the pressure of 2.1 GPa (3.5 GPa) is due to the rotation of the magnetic easy axis from the <001> to the <100> direction. Additionally, our data confirm that CeAgSb 2 is antiferromagnetic (AFM) above a critical pressure P c , and such a tendency is expected for CeAuSb 2 and remains to be seen. Through the spin-orbit-coupling Hamiltonian and detailed information on the occupation of individual 4f-orbitals of the Ce atom obtained by the electronic-structure calculations, we can deduce the rotation of the magnetic easy axis upon the application of pressure. According to the present and previous studies, the differences among the magnetic properties of CeNMSb 2 (NM: Cu, Ag and Au) compounds are not due to the different noble metals, but due to the subtle differences in the relative position of Ce atoms and, in turn, different occupations of Ce 4f-orbitals.

ABSTRACTTransmission electron microscopy was performed on epitaxial Fe/Pt and Co/Pt [001] oriented multilayers that were sputter deposited onto single crystal [001] MgO. Films were examined as-deposited and after annealing in vacuum. Before annealing, the films had a magnetic easy axis in the plane while after annealing the easy axis was out of the plane. Perpendicular anisotropies of 8× 106 erg/cm3 and 1.9x 107 erg/cm3 were measured for the Fe/Pt and Co/Pt post-annealed films. Large magneto-optic Kerr rotations were also measured, 0.6° and 0.4° for the Fe/Pt and Co/Pt annealed films, respectively. Changes in the magnetic properties were a direct result of the transformation of the multilayer into c axis oriented FePt and CoPt intermetallic compounds upon annealing.
