α -MnS-based Exchange Bias Systems — •Andreas Hochstrat, Pavel Borisov, Xi Chen, and Wolfgang Kleemann — Angewandte Physik, Universität Duisburg-Essen, D-47048 Duisburg, Germany
With decreasing temperature the NaCl-structure-type antiferromagnetic α -MnS exhibits a phase transition from the paramagnetic to an antiferromagnetic state at Tc1≈ 152 K, while a spin reorientation transition from single- to multiaxis antiferromagnetism occurs at Tc2≈ 129 K [1]. (111)-oriented α -MnS crystals were grown by the vapor transport method. Exchange bias (EB) systems with thin ferromagnetic metal films epitaxially grown on top of these α -MnS crystals show a new type of EB temperature dependence. While the EB field, measured with a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID), is normal in the temperature regime Tc2<T<Tc1, it seems to vanish below Tc2.
