Abstract:
We report about very high-quality epitaxial NiO films grown on a Fe(001) passivated surface. X-ray magnetic linear dichroism at the Ni L-2 absorption edge has been applied to investigate the magnetic anisotropy in the NiO layer. We find that very thin NiO films (7-20 atomic layers) develop an in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, whose axis is found to be perpendicular to the Fe substrate magnetization M. This behaviour is in contrast with what observed in the specular Fe/NiO(001) interface, where the coupling is parallel. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
