Ferromagnetism of MnAs studied by heteroepitaxial films on GaAs(001).

Thin epitaxial films of MnAs--promising candidates for the spin injection into semiconductors--are well known to undergo simultaneously a first-order structural and magnetic phase transition at 10-40 degrees C. The evolution of stress and magnetization of MnAs/GaAs(001), both measured quantitatively...
