Symmetry broken spin reorientation transition in epitaxial MgO/Fe/MgO layers with competing anisotropies
Abstract The observation of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) at MgO/Fe interfaces boosted the development of spintronic devices based on ultrathin ferromagnetic layers. Yet, magnetization reversal in the standard magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with competing PMA and in-plane anisotropies re...
