Rare-earth-free ferrimagnetic Mn4N sub-20 nm thin films as high-temperature spintronic material

W. Zhou, C. T. Ma, T. Q. Hartnett +2

Ferrimagnetic alloy thin films that exhibit perpendicular (out-of-plane) magnetic anisotropy (PMA) with low saturation magnetization, such as GdCo and Mn4N, were predicted to be fa…
