摘要：

Thin epitaxial films of MnAs-promising canditates for the spin injection into semiconductors-are well known to undergo simultaneously a first-order structural and magnetic phase transition at 10-40 degreesC. The evolution of stress and magnetization of MnAs/GaAs(001), both measured quantitatively with our cantilever beam magnetometer at the coexistance region of alpha-MnAs and beta-MnAs, reveal an orthorhombically distorted unit cell of the ferromagnetic phase, which provides important clues on the origin of ferromagnetism in MnAs.
