Abstract

The ferromagnetic phase transition in a MnAs film on GaAs(111), where the MnAs unit cell is epitaxially fixed in its hexagonal plane, proceeds under conditions qualitatively different from the transition in bulk MnAs crystals or in MnAs films on GaAs(001). We present experimental evidence for the coexistence between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases in a temperature interval of 10°C. Temperature dependencies of the phase fractions and the in-plane lattice parameters obtained by grazing incidence x-ray diffraction are compared with magnetization measurements.
