Abstract :
Spintronic devices and magnetic tunneling devices have been a major topic of research in recent years. One of the most promising heterostructures are SrRuO3/SiTiO3 heterostructures. Anisotropy induced magnetic properties of SrRuO3 become complicated in SrRuO3/SrTiO3 heterostructure because of distorted interfacial symmetry coming from orthorhombic nature of SrRuO3 and cubic SrRuO3. Although the magnetic anisotropy is known to be related with surface morphology and microstructures, their roles as well as the anisotropy axis itself are still controversial issue. We present modeling of the magnetic anisotropy behavior for two different growth modes by the use of tensors
