Strong correlation between uniaxial magnetic anisotropic constant and in-plane tensile strain in Mn4N epitaxial films

Ferrimagnetic Mn4N is a promising candidate for current-induced domain wall motion assisted by spin-transfer and spin–orbit torques. Mn4N can be doped to have perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and a small spontaneous magnetization. However, the origin of the PMA of Mn4N has yet to be fully und...
