Stress-Induced Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy in PtMnSb Thin Films

Abstract
Stress-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is studied for PtMnSb thin films deposited on various substrates having different expansion coefficients. The magnetostriction constant λ of PtMnSb thin film is -30 × 10-6. The film's perpendicular magnetic anisotropy constant K u increases as tensile thermal stress in the film plane increases.
