Evolution of stress and magnetism during the first-order phase transition of MnAs/GaAs(001)

We have investigated epitaxial MnAs/GaAs(0 0 1) films in the phase transition region between 10°C and 40°C where hexagonal, ferromagnetic α-MnAs and paramagnetic, orthorhomic β-MnAs coexist. Quantitative stress measurements with a cantilever beam magnetometer reveal that during the phase transition...
