Magnetotransport properties of FeRh nanowires
Fabianová, Kateřina ; Dubroka, Adam (oponent) ; Uhlíř, Vojtěch (vedoucí práce)
Iron-rhodium (FeRh) is a material undergoing a first order magnetic phase transition from antiferromagnetic (AF) to ferromagnetic (FM) phase which occurs when the material is heated above the transition temperature or by applying a sufficiently large magnetic field. This phase transition is accompanied by a significant change in entropy, magnetization and electric resistivity while the transition temperature is strongly dependent on the crystal stoichiometry, elemental substitution, pressure and in case of thin layers on the strain induced by the substrate. This work is focused on the study of magnetotransport properties of wires patterned from FeRh thin layers grown on substrates inducing different strain in the layer. One of the main effects studied in this work is the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) demonstrated by a change of the resistance for different orientations of the magnetic moments in the material with respect to the electric current direction. The AMR was studied both in the FM and AF phase of FeRh. The AMR of the FM phase in the high temperature phase was measured and an unexpected behavior of the AMR of the residual FM phase of FeRh in the low temperature phase was discovered. A strong dependence of the AMR on the orientation of the measured segment with respect to the crystallographic directions of FeRh was explored.
