Article Synopsis
  • * This study explores how the interaction between CoO and a ferromagnetic Co film, through a phenomenon called exchange bias, reveals changes that indicate the establishment of a "spinterface."
  • * Specifically, the adsorption of carbon (C) and gallium (Ga) on CoO enhances its antiferromagnetic properties by redistributing charge, leading to increased blocking temperature, exchange bias fields, and coercivities in the Co layer.

Orbital hybridization at the Co/C interface been has proved to strongly enhance the magnetic anisotropy of the cobalt layer, promoting such hybrid systems as appealing components for sensing and memory devices. Correspondingly, the same hybridization induces substantial variations in the ability of the Co/C interface to support spin-polarized currents and can bring out a spin-filtering effect. The knowledge of the effects at both sides allows for a better and more complete understanding of interfacial physics.
