Abstract

Spin-polarized low-energy electron diffraction combined with in situ Kerr magnetometry and a model calculation indicates that a six monolayer thick fcc Fe film undergoes a reversible transition from a room-temperature paramagnetic state to a low-temperature phase including antiferromagnetically coupled planes. The fcc Fe film was grown in an exchange field provided by an underlying Co layer.
