摘要: Abstract In this work, the magnetic properties of Fe/NiO (1 0 0) interface at room temperature is investigated using non-linear magneto-optical Kerr effect. Nickel oxide a promising material for technological applications due to its Neel (525 K) occurring well above temperature. Non-linear rotation measurements have demonstrated be an effective way investigate ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic interface. The here reported demonstrate that studied strongly depend on Fe layer thickness. fact, clear hysteresis loop observed only thickness higher than 5 ML, whereas 2 ML sample completely disappears. These results are in agreement with previous structural characterizations
