Аннотация: Solid-phase transformations at different annealing temperatures in Mn/Bi (Mn on Bi) and Bi/Mn (Bi on Mn) films have been studied using X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and magnetic measurements. It has been shown that the synthesis of the alpha-MnBi phase in polycrystalline Mn/Bi films begins at a temperature of similar to 1Показать полностью20A degrees C and the Mn and Bi layers react completely at 300A degrees C. The resulting alpha-MnBi(001) samples have a large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (K (u) a parts per thousand integral 1.5 x 10(7) erg/cm(3)) and a coercive force H > H (C) similar to 3 kOe. In contrast to Mn/Bi, the ferromagnetic alpha-MnBi phase in Bi/Mn films is not formed even at annealing processes up to 400A degrees C and Mn clusters are formed in a Bi melt. This asymmetry in phase transformations occurs because chemosorbed oxygen existing on the surface of the Mn film in Bi/Mn films suppresses a solid-phase reaction between Mn and Bi. The analysis of the results obtained implies the existence of new low-temperature (similar to 120A degrees C) structural transformation in the Mn-Bi system.
