Magnetic dichroism and spin structure of antiferromagnetic NiO(001) films.

We find that Ni L2 edge x-ray magnetic linear dichroism is fully reversed for NiO(001) films on materials with reversed lattice mismatch. We relate this phenomenon to a preferential stabilization of magnetic S domains with main spin component either in or out of the plane, via dipolar interactions. This suggests a way to selectively control spin structures in 3d systems with small spin-orbit coupling.

Spin-polarized transport across sharp antiferromagnetic boundaries.

We report spin-polarized transport experiments across antiphase domain boundaries which act as atomically sharp magnetic interfaces. The antiphase boundaries are prepared by growing Fe(3)O(4) epitaxially on MgO, the magnetic coupling over a large fraction of these boundaries being antiferromagnetic. Magnetoresistance measurements yield linear and quadratic field dependence up to the anisotropy field for fields applied parallel and perpendicular to the film plane, respectively. This behavior can be explained by a hopping model in which spin-polarized electrons traverse an antiferromagnetic interface between two ferromagnetic chains.
