Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in CoxMn4−xN (x = 0 and 0.2) epitaxial films and possibility of tetragonal Mn4N phase

We grow 25-nm-thick Mn4N and Co0.2Mn3.8N epitaxial films on SrTiO3(001) by molecular beam epitaxy. These films show the tetragonal structure with a tetragonal axial ratio c/a of approximately 0.99. Their magnetic properties are measured at 300 K, and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is confirmed in...
