摘要
We have grown high quality superlattices of Dy with nonmagnetic Lu and find that the 2.4% epitaxial compression nearly doubles the ferromagnetic T(C) of Dy with little change in the Neel temperature. A helimagnetic phase exists over a narrow temperature range. Below T(C) in superlattices, 300 angstrom orthorhombic domains form despite epitaxial constraints, each with a magnetostrictive distortion comparable to that of bulk Dy. For the thinnest intervening Lu layers, individual ferromagnetic Dy blocks have parallel alignment; the remaining samples show antiparallel alignment, coherent over many bilayer periods.
