Tailoring exchange bias with magnetic nanostructures

Rotational hysteresis of the exchange anisotropy direction in Co∕FeMn thin films

“…The decreasing-and increasing-field branches of the transverse loop exhibit slight asymmetry, similar to those reported earlier. [9][10][11][12] However, the asymmetry is not severe, thus for clarity only the average peak height is plotted. The evolution of the peaks is hysteretic, m peak T emerges ͑0 memu at =0°͒ as increases ͑CCW rotation of sample͒.…”

Neutron scattering studies of nanomagnetism and artificially structured materials

“…For instance, Figure 14 shows an example of nanostructuring using di-block copolymer lithography for the preparation of nanoholes in an Fe-FeF 2 exchange biased bilayer [180].…”

Determination of the Fe magnetic anisotropies and the CoO frozen spins in epitaxial CoO/Fe/Ag(001)

“…These models were soon replaced by more sophisticate models which are believed to better represent realistic experimental systems [8,9,10]. In experiment, most of the early measurements are on the FM layer hysteresis loops to study the pinning effect [11,12,13], training effect [14,15,16], and the finite size effect [17,18], etc. One important issue in these studies is on how the AFM/FM interfacial coupling determines the FM layer exchange bias and the magnetic anisotropies.…”
