Magnetic and structural properties of Cr₂O₃ thin film systems — •Tiberius Turi, Subhankar Bedanta, Pavel Borisov, Xi Chen, Andreas Hochstrat, Vladimir Shvartsman, and Wolfgang Kleemann — Angewandte Physik, Universität Duisburg-Essen, D-47048 Duisburg, Germany

Recently we demostrated magnetoelectric (ME) switching of exchange bias in magnetic heterosystems based on single crystalline antiferromagnetic Cr₂O ₃ [1], which could be applied to develop a new kind of magnetoelectronic devices. For a closer approach to technical application, thin films of Cr₂ O₃ are prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) and Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), respectively. X-ray diffraction shows epitaxial Cr₂O₃ (111) in both cases. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is used to characterize the topography of the samples. Various magnetic heterostructures comprising CoFe, CrO₂ and Co/Pt layers, respectively, on top of Cr₂O₃ thin films are investigated.
