摘要：

Epitaxial Fe(48)Rh(52) thin films of nominal thickness 500 angstrom were grown on MgO (001) substrates via molecular beam epitaxy and capped with 20 angstrom of either Au or MgO. The presence of the anticipated magnetostructural phase transition from antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism at similar to 350 K was confirmed by superconducting quantum interference device and magneto-optic Kerr effect magnetometry. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) experiments were carried out at the L(2,3) edges; measurements were done in both total electron yield (TEY) mode and indirect transmission mode. At room temperature, the indirect transmission XMCD data show no detectable dichroism, consistent with bulk antiferromagnetic behavior. However, room-temperature TEY data originating from the films' surface reveal an appreciable dichroic signal indicating the presence of ferromagnetism. This near-surface/interfacial magnetism may be modified by choice of capping layer; the MgO-capped sample exhibited a considerably smaller ferromagnetic XMCD signal. The results have potential impact on the application of FeRh thin films as temperature-variable pinning layers in exchanged-biased systems. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
