Reorientation of spin-density waves in Cr films induced by proximity effect of vanadium

We report on neutron scattering studies from proximity effects of neighbouring vanadium layers on spin-density waves in epitaxial Cr(001) films. We provide direct evidence for long-range effects from the V/Cr interface leading to changes in the polarization and propagation direction of the spin-dens...

Summary:We report on neutron scattering studies from proximity effects of neighbouring vanadium layers on spin-density waves in epitaxial Cr(001) films. We provide direct evidence for long-range effects from the V/Cr interface leading to changes in the polarization and propagation direction of the spin-density waves in rather thick Cr films. The Neel temperature is found to be affected by boundary conditions for the spin-density waves at V/Cr interfaces.
