Engineering thermal (in)stability in heteromagnetic nanostructures
Beyond exchange bias systems, where antiferromagnetic layers stabilize ferromagnetic layers, antiferromagnets have seen limited practical use due to their zero net magnetic moment, which hinders both sensing and interaction with the magnetization. However, in comparison with ferromagnets, antiferromagnets intrinsically display orders of magnitude faster magnetization dynamics, making them highly attractive for technological applications. In most nanotechnological applications, flips of the magnetization due to thermal fluctuations are undesirable. For instance, in magnetic storage, thermal switching of the bits compromises data integrity. However, other applications, such as magnetic…
