Engineering perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in Fe via interstitial nitrogenation: N choose K
In this work, combining experimental results and first principles calculations, we show that interstitial nitrogen not only serves for inducing tetragonality in α′-Fe8Nx but is also essential for achieving a high degree of perpendicular magneto-crystalline anisotropy, K. Our results demonstrate that...
