General nature of the step-induced frustration at ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic interfaces: topological origin and quantitative understanding
We present a study of the magnetic configuration due to step-induced magnetic frustration at ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic (FM/AFM) interfaces. At a substrate monatomic step edge, a 180° domain wall emerges. A physically appealing form for the thickness dependence of the domain wall width is obtai...
