Abstract

The formation of a magnetic nanostructure is reported in FeRh thin films showing the antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic (AF-to-FM) transition known from the B2 ordered equiatomic phase. The magnetic nanostructure is formed due to a certain epitaxial strain-adaption process, leading to phase separation into a ferromagnetic and a paramagnetic phase. An additional post-annealing step finally creates the high degree of chemical ordering in the cubic phase needed to establish the AFM ground state and the AF-to-FM transition, as seen by SQUID magnetometry and 57Fe conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy.
