contents We have demonstrated the existence of the Morin transition in epitaxially grown hematite thin films exceeding a critical thickness. The Morin transition temperature can be suppressed by magnetic fields applied both parallel and perpendicular to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) vector, exhibiting a distinct anisotropic behavior that is consistent with bulk hematite crystals. Detailed analysis explains the anisotropic behavior and provides a method for determining the DM strength, which remains nearly constant across the sample thickness over four orders of magnitude. Our findings obtained with transport measurements offer a valuable approach for studying antiferromagnetic spin configurations in thin films and nanodevices.
