Abstract
Epitaxial a-axis oriented CrO2 films with a strong in-plane uniaxial anisot ropy exhibit easy-axis switching at small fields and coherent rotation of m agnetization at larger fields. Unique angular dependence of \cos phi\ and \ sec phi\ have been observed for remanence and switching field, respectively . (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(00)05228-1].
