Abstract
[ Fe 3 O 4 (40 Å)/ Mn 3 O 4 (160 Å)] ×10 superlattice is grown on MgO(110), and its in-plane angular-dependent magnetic response is studied. Magnetic compensation and spin–flop state are observed at ∼42 K and external field >15 kOe when the magnetic measurement is along the [1-10] direction. These features disappear when the measurement is along the [001] direction. This strong anisotropic effect may originate from the tetragonal structure of Mn3O4 whose magnetic easy axis is in the a-b plane and hard axis is perpendicular to the a-b plane. This study demonstrates that the compensation point and spin–flop phase transition both are orientationally dependent in an antiparallel-coupled magnetic layer system if there is at least one constituent component with strong magnetic anisotropy.
