Thermally induced magnetisation switching in Fe3nm/MnAs200nm/GaAs(001).
Specular x-ray reflectivity at the Fe-2p (
) and Mn-2p (
) resonances, measured in a thermal cycle with Tmax = 18°C. The magnetic signal is defined as the difference between two measurements performed for opposite x-ray helicities, divided by their sum.
