Abstract

FeMn/Co/Cu(001) films were epitaxially grown and investigated using photoemission electron microscopy and the surface magneto-optic Kerr effect. The FeMn antiferromagnetic order increases the Co film coercivity, switches the Co magnetization easy axis from the [110] direction to the [100] direction, and increases the Co film critical thickness at which the ferromagnetic transition occurs. The Néel temperature of the FeMn film increases with increasing FeMn film thickness. At room temperature, we constructed a magnetic phase diagram in the FeMn-Co thickness plane to describe the FeMn and Co magnetic phases.
