Effect of Oxygen Stoichiometry on the Magnetization Profiles and Negative Magnetization in LSMO Thin Films

September 14, 2019
Author(s)
Robbyn Trappen, Alexander Grutter, Chih-Yeh Huang, Aubrey Penn, Navid Mottaghi, Saeed Yousefi, Allison Haertter, Shalini Kumari, James LeBeau, Brian Kirby, Mikel B. Holcomb
The depth dependent magnetization in thin film oxygen stoichiometric and oxygen deficient La 0.7Sr 0.3MnO 3 is investigated by using polarized neutron reflectivity. The stoichiometric sample shows enhanced interfacial magnetization relative to the rest of

NonVolatile Ionic Modification of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction

September 4, 2019
Author(s)
L. Herrera Diez, Y. T. Liu, Dustin A. Gilbert, M. Belmeguenai, J. Vogel, S. Pizzini, E. Martinez, A. Lamperti, J. B. Mohammedi, A. Laborieux, Y. Roussigne, Alexander Grutter, E. Arenholtz, Patrick Quarterman, Brian B. Maranville, S. Ono, M. Salah El Hadri, R. Tolley, E. E. Fullerton, L. Sanchez-Tejerina, A. Stashkevich, S. M. Cherif, A. D. Kent, D. Querlioz, J. Langer, B. Ocker, D. Ravelosona
The possibility to tune the Dzyaloshinskii Moriya interaction (DMI) by electric (E) field gating in ultra-thin magnetic materials has opened new perspectives in terms of controlling the stabilization of chiral spin structures. Most recent efforts have used

X-Ray Nanodiffraction Studies of Ionically Controlled Nanoscale Phase Separation in Cobaltites

August 5, 2019
Author(s)
Geoffery Rippy, Lacey Trinh, Alexander M. Kane, Aleksey L. Ionin, Michael S. Lee, Rajesh V. Chopdekar, Joyce M. Christiansen-Salameh, Dustin A. Gilbert, Alexander Grutter, Peyton D. Murray, Martin V. Holt, Zhonghou Cai, Kai Liu, Yayoi Takamura, Roopali Kukreja
Complex oxide heterostructures provide access to emergent functional and structural phases which are not present in the bulk constituent materials. In this letter, we focus on Gd/La 0.67Sr 0.33CoO 3 (LSCO) heterostructures due to the high oxygen ion

Effects of Field Annealing on MnN/CoFeB Exchange Bias Systems

June 24, 2019
Author(s)
Patrick A Quarterman, I. Hallsteinsen, M. Dunz, M. Meinert, E. Arenholz, Julie A. Borchers, Alexander J. Grutter
We report the effects of nitrogen diffusion on exchange bias in MnN/CoFeB heterostructures as a function of MnN thickness and field annealing temperature. We find that competing effects occur in which high-temperature annealing enhances exchange bias in

Electron Doping BaZrO 3 via Topochemical Reduction

June 19, 2019
Author(s)
Thomas Orvis, Mythili Surendran, Yang Liu, Shanyuan Niu, Shinichiro Muramoto, Alexander Grutter, Jayakanth Ravichandran
We report the topochemical reduction of epitaxial thin films of the cubic perovskite BaZrO 3. Reduction with calcium hydride yields n-type conductivity in the films, despite the wide bandgap and low electron affinity of the parent material. X-ray

Exploring Interfacial Exchange Coupling and Sublattice Effect in Heavy Metal/Ferrimagnetic Insulator Heterostructures using Hall Measurements, X-Ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism, and Neutron Reflectometry

March 4, 2019

Qiming Shao, Alexander Grutter, Yawen Liu, Guoqiang Yu, Chao-Yao Yang, Dustin A. Gilbert, Elke Arenholz, Padraic Shafer, Xiaoyu Chi, Chi Tang, Mohammed Aldosary, Aryan Navabi, Qing Lin He, Brian Kirby, Jing Shi, Kang L. Wang
Ferrimagnetic insulators (FMIs), such as rare-earth iron garnets, are of considerable interest for low-power spintronics due to low Gilbert damping and the absence of free charge carriers. FMIs are also promising candidate materials for high-frequency

Phonon Localization in Heat Conduction

December 21, 2018
Author(s)
M. N. Luckyanova, J. Mendoza, H. Lu, B. Song, S. Huang, J. Zhou, M. Li., Y. Dong, H. Zhou, J. Garlow, L. Wu, Brian Kirby, Alexander Grutter, Alex A. Puretzky, Y. Zhu, M. S. Dresselhaus, A. Gossard, G. Chen
We report localization-like behavior in phonon heat conduction observed both in measurement of the thermal conductivities of GaAs/AlAs superlattice (SL) thin films with interfacial disorder caused by ErAs nanodots randomly distributed at the interfaces

Helical Magnetism in Sr-Doped CaMn 7 O 12 Films

December 19, 2018
Author(s)
Amanda Huon, Anuradha M. Vibhakar, Alexander Grutter, Julie Borchers, Steven Disseler, Yaohua Liu, Wei Tian, Fabio Orlandi, Pascal Manuel, Dmitry D. Khalyavin, Yogesh Sharma, Andreas Herklotz, Ho Nyung Lee, Michael R. Fitzsimmons, Roger D. Johnson, Steven J. May
Noncollinear magnetism can play an important role in multiferroic materials but is relatively understudied in oxide heterostructures compared to their bulk counterparts. Using magnetometry and neutron diffraction, we demonstrate the presence of helical

Long-Range Electric Field Control of Permalloy Layers in Strain-Coupled Composite Multiferroics

Michelle E. Jamer, Colin R. Rementer, Anthony Barra, Alexander Grutter, Kevin Fitzell, Daniel Gopman, Julie Borchers, Gregory P. Carman, Brian Kirby, Jane P. Chang
Artificial composite multiferroic materials can be created by interfacing magnetostrictive and piezoelectric materials, allowing for electric field control of magnetic properties. For multilayer device applications, addition of weakly magnetostrictive
