Abstract

We clarify the origin of the interface perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) at the Cr₂O₃/ferromagnet interface by investigating the temperature dependence of the magnetic properties of Cr₂O ₃/Co-Pt. We observed positive large interface PMA both above and below the blocking temperature of Cr₂O₃, with the PMA being less sensitive to temperature. Our results indicate that the effect of the metal/oxide interface, as well as that of the MgO/CoFeB interface, contributes strongly to the PMA at the Cr₂O₃/Co-Pt interface, although the effect of perpendicular exchange coupling might also slightly contribute to the interface PMA.
