Single-crystalline artificially layered [Ni/Mn] antiferromagnetic films with 1 atomic monolayer (ML) of Ni and 1, 2, or 3 ML of Mn have been deposited under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions on Cu3Au(001) and covered by ferromagnetic Co layers. Their structural and magnetic properties are characterized by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE), respectively, and compared with disordered NixMn100−x alloy films with the same Ni/Mn ratio and the same film thickness. We find from LEED I(V) curves that the perpendicular interatomic lattice distance is decreased by 2% in the artificially layered [Ni/Mn] samples in comparison to the disordered NixMn100−x alloy films. This change in the structure causes higher coercivity, exchange bias, and stronger exchange coupling in artificially layered [Ni/Mn] samples compared to disordered NixMn100−x alloy films.
