Tailoring magnetic frustration in strained epitaxial FeRh films
Tailoring magnetic frustration in strained epitaxial FeRh films
We report on a strain-induced martensitic transformation, accompanied by a suppression of magnetic order in epitaxial films of chemically disordered FeRh. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and electronic structure calculations reveal that the lowering of symmetry (from cubic to tetragonal) imposed by the epitaxial relation leads to a further, unexpected, …
