Epitaxial strain controlled magnetocrystalline anisotropy in ultrathin FeRh/MgO bilayers
Using ab initio electronic structure calculations we have investigated the effect of epitaxial strain on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) of ultrathin FeRh/MgO heterostructures. Analysis of the energy- and k-resolved distribution of the orbital character of the band structure reveals that MCA...
