Abstract:We explore the existence of spin glass phase in FeCo/FePt bilayers arising due to disordered ferromagnet. The non-ergodic and highly degenerate landscape of the spin glass phase at low temperature explains the origin of complex magnetic texture in the FeCo/FePt system. Upon cooling the bilayered system, the magnetic texture undergoes spin freezing below 120 K as evident from the bifurcations in zero field cooling and field cooling magnetizations at low magnetic field as a manifestation of broken ergodicity.
