Abstract
Herein, it is demonstrated that the solid‐state dewetting of patterned Fe(100) films can lead to the formation of epitaxial heterostructures of Fe3O4 and Fe. Fe3O4 layers can be grown conformally on multiple facets of dewetted Fe patterns, without buckle delamination, creating epitaxial interfaces. The dewetted line patterns show switching behaviors that are indicative of parallel and antiparallel coupling of Fe3O4 and Fe magnetization, when magnetic fields are applied along their long and short axes, respectively. By comparing this behavior with the results of micromagnetic simulations, it is suggested that the anisotropic switching behavior cannot be solely attributed to the shape anisotropy of the dewetted patterns; their interfacial atomic structures should also be considered.
