Selective etching of epitaxial MnAs films on GaAs(001): Influence of structure and strain

Strain in epitaxial MnAs thin films on GaAs(001) substrates plays an important role in the coupled magnetostructural phase transition. As a result of strain, the phase transition from the ferromagnetic α phase to the paramagnetic Β phase proceeds over a wide temperature range and the coexisting phas...
