From ferro- to antiferromagnetism via exchange-striction of MnAs/GaAs(001)
We investigated the stress evolution in single-crystal MnAs films on GaAs(001) upon applying high external magnetic fields in the α/β phase transition regime (10-40 °C) and beyond. Our stress measurements reveal large field-induced lattice distortions at temperatures, where β-MnAs is present, even w...
