摘要
Antiferromagnets (AFMs) with chiral noncollinear spin structure have attracted great attention in recent years. However, the existing research has mainly focused on hexagonal chiral AFMs, such as Mn3Sn, Mn3Ga, Mn3Ge with low crystalline symmetry. Here, we present our systematical study for the face-centered cubic noncollinear antiferromagnetic Mn3Pt. By varying the alloy composition (x), we have successfully fabricated antiferromagnetic Mn1-xPtx epitaxial films on MgO substrates and have observed a crystalline structure transition from L1(0) MnPt to L1(2) Mn3Pt. The Mn3Pt exhibits a large anomalous Hall effect, which is in the same order of magnitude as those of ferromagnetic materials. Moreover, a large thickness-evolved strain effect is revealed in Mn3Pt films by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis based on the Scherrer method. Our work explores Mn3Pt as a promising candidate for topological antiferromagnetic spintronics.
