Abstrakt: We conducted spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) measurements to investigate the Ru-doping effect on the Morin transition of α-Fe2O3(0001) films, which is the transition from the low-temperature antiferromagnetic state with c-axis magnetic moments to the high-temperature weak ferromagnetic state with c-plane magnetic moments, under a thickness of 6–100 nm. We clarified that the Morin temperature of the 2.6 at. % Ru-doped α-Fe2O3 film was greater than 400 K when the thickness was 100 nm and decreased with a decrease in thickness. Our results demonstrated that SMR measurements are a valid verification method for the Morin transition of very thin α-Fe2O3 films down to several nm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
