Jj. Rhyne et al., ANOMALOUS ANTIFERROMAGNETIC COUPLING IN [ZNTE-VERTICAL-BAR-MNTE] SUPERLATTICES, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 177, 1998, pp. 1195-1196
Neutron diffraction studies of magnetic order in epitaxial magnetic se
miconductor superlattices [(ZnTe) \ (MnTe)] have revealed long-range c
oupling between antiferromagnetic layers of MnTe interleaved with thin
(4-6 atomic planes) layers of ZnTe. Both in-phase and anti-phase coup
lings have been observed with a gradual transfer (in samples with thin
ner ZnTe layers) between the two forms of ordering as temperature is i
ncreased. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
