摘要
Element substitution effects on the crystal structure and magnetic properties are investigated by substituting Cr atoms for a part of Mn-sites in the Cu2Sb-type MnAI\lGe. Perpendicularly magnetized (001)-textured films were successfully fabricated onto thermally oxidized silicon substrates without underlayers for the Cr-concentration ranging from 0 to 0.45 in the stoichiometry. The uniaxial magnetic anisotropy energy, K-u is enhanced by Cr-substitution, and the maximum value is 7.3 x 10 ( )erg cm(-3) at room temperature. The enhancement of K-u can be explained by the change of electronic structure due to Cr-substitution, based on the second order perturbation theory with spin-orbit interaction.
