Abstract

The Mn-Ge binary system has been intensively studied because of a variety of phases with intriguing magnetic properties. Here, we report the thin film fabrication of two types of Mn<subscript>3</subscript>Ge by employing Pt and Ru seed layers. Our structural analysis, in addition to magnetic and transport measurements, have revealed that the Mn<subscript>3</subscript>Ge film with the Pt layer has γ-Mn type cubic structure. This is in contrast to the Mn<subscript>3</subscript>Ge film with Ru seed layer, which posseses D0<subscript>22</subscript> tetragonal structure. Pt/Mn<subscript>3</subscript>Ge also exhibits antiferromagnetic properties, including the exchange bias effect with the blocking temperature of T<subscript>B</subscript> ∼ 350 K.
