Experimental and first-principles determination of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy in MnxGa

Singular point detection (SPD) for the determination of the anisotropy field (BA) using a conventional magnetometer is demonstrated. We then follow the composition dependence of BA in MnxGa using a combination of SPD measurements complemented by first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calcu...
