Abstract

The control of ferromagnetic properties by external stimuli is of great interest in the electronics community. One method of producing such a control is through proximity of a ferromagnetic film with a material that has a semiconductor-to-metal transition (SMT). In order for these magnetic heterostructures to be beneficial, they must consist of high-quality, crystalline films. Epitaxial films increase the reproducibility of both devices and properties. We have investigated the trend in magnetic coercivity in epitaxial nickel films on VO2. We show that not only does the interaction between the Ni and VO2 change the normal coercivity trend found in Ni M-H curves with no proximity to VO2, but that the crystalline growth mode of the Ni film also impacts the magnetic coercivity as a function of temperature.
