MgO template effect for perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in (001)-textured poly-crystalline MnAlGe films

Magnetic thin films showing high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, Ku, and low saturation magnetization, Ms, are essential for realizing a small switching current in spintronic devices utilizing the current induced magnetization switching phenomena. The Cu2Sb-type MnAlGe intermetallic compound is a...
