摘要
Magnetic order and coupling at the interfaces of highly spin polarized Fe(3)O(4) heterostructures have been determined by surface sensitive and element specific soft X-ray spectroscopy and spectro-microscopy techniques. At ambient temperature, the interface between paramagnetic CoCr(2)O(4) or MnCr(2)O(4) and ferrimagnetic Fe(3)O(4) isostructural bilayers exhibits long range magnetic order of Co, Mn and Cr cations which cannot be explained in terms of the formation of interfacial MnFe(2)O(4) or CoFe(2)O(4). Instead, the ferrimagnetism is induced by the adjacent Fe(3)O(4) layer and is the result of the stabilization of a spinel phase not achievable in bulk form. Magnetism at the interface region is observable up to 500K, far beyond the chromite bulk Curie temperature of 50-95 K. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
