Abstract

The lattice parameter dependence of the Néel temperature T_N of thin Cr₂O₃ in a Cr₂O₃/Co exchange-coupled system is investigated. Lattice-mismatch-induced strain is generated in Cr₂O₃ by using different buffer layers. The lattice parameters are determined from out-of-plane and in-plane X-ray diffraction measurements. The Néel temperature is detected by direct temperature-dependent magnetization measurement as well as the temperature-dependent interface exchange coupling energy. It is observed that in-plane lattice contraction can enhance T_N in Cr₂O₃, which is consistent with theoretical calculations.
