abstract = {The occurrence of antiferromagnetic coupling at antiphase
domain boundaries (APBs) of ferromagnetic materials holds
potential applications for room-temperature spintronic
devices. Here, we report formation mechanism and
atomic-scale structure properties of APBs in α-Li0.5Fe2.5O4
thin films on MgAl2O4 (001) substrates investigated by means
of aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron
microscopy. The APBs in the α-Li0.5Fe2.5O4 films are either
conservative or non-conservative. Across the APBs the oxygen
sublattice in α-Li0.5Fe2.5O4 is maintained, while the
stacking sequence of the cation sublattice is interrupted.
The propagation of APBs is found to occur in a complex way
within the ferromagnetic films, including the dissociation
of APBs and the formation of kinks. Importantly, the density
of APBs can be tuned by controlling the thickness of the
α-Li0.5Fe2.5O4 films since the APBs bound interfacial
dislocations contributing to film-substrate strain
relaxation. Our results evidence that the nano-scale APBs in
the α-Li0.5Fe2.5O4 films are controllable and stable, which
could be promising candidates for applications in
nano-spintronic devices.},
