Room Temperature Control of Axial and Basal Antiferromagnetic Anisotropies Using Strain.

ABSTRACT: Antiferromagnetic materials are promising platforms for the development of ultrafast spintronics and magnonics due to their robust magnetism, high-frequency relativistic dynamics, low-loss transport, and the ability to support topological textures. However, achieving deterministic control over antiferromagnetic order in thin films is a major challenge due to the formation of multidomain states stabilized by competing magnetic and destressing interactions. Thus, the successful implementation of antiferromagnetic materials necessitates careful engineering of their anisotropy. Here, we demonstrate strain-based, robust control over multiple antiferromagnetic anisotropies and nanoscale domains in the promising spintronic candidate α-Fe₂O₃ at room temperature. By applying i
