Anisotropic magnetoresistance and nontrivial spin Hall magnetoresistance in Pt/α–Fe2O3 bilayers

Description

Magnetic proximity effect has only been conclusively observed in ferromagnet-based systems. We report the observation of anomalous Hall effect and angular-dependent anisotropic magnetoresistance in Pt on antiferromagnetic Pt/α–Fe2O3 (0001) epitaxial films at 10 K, which provide evidence for the magnetic proximity effect. The Neel order of Pt/α–Fe2O3 and the induced magnetization in Pt show a unique angular-dependent magnetoresistance compared with all other ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems. In conclusion, a macrospin response model is established and can explain the antiferromagnetic spin configuration and all main magnetoresistance features in the Pt/α–Fe2O3 bilayers.
