Abstract

The infrared magnetorefractive effect (MRE) is used to compare the magnetoresistance (MR) in epitaxial thin films of Fe3O4 grown on MgO with (100) and (111) crystal orientations. The smaller MRE detected in the (111) film is shown to correlate with the smaller electrically measured MR, its behavior consistent with a lower density of antiphase boundaries in the (111) film (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.
