Electron theory of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of Co-ferrite thin films

We develop an electron theory for the t2g electrons of Co2+ ions to clarify the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) mechanism of Co-ferrite thin films by considering the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) and crystal-field (CF) potentials induced by the local symmetry around the Co ions and the global...
