Voltage- and temperature-tuned ferromagnetic hysteresis is investigated by a superconducting quantum-interference device and Kerr magnetometry in a thin-film heterostructure of a perpendicular anisotropic Co/Pd ferromagnet exchange coupled to the magnetoelectric antiferromagnet Cr2O3. An abrupt disappearance of exchange bias with a simultaneous more than twofold increase in coercivity is observed and interpreted as a competition between the effective anisotropy of Cr2O3 and the exchange-coupling energy between boundary magnetization and the adjacent ferromagnet. The effective anisotropy energy is given by the intrinsic anisotropy energy density multiplied by the effective volume separated from the bulk through …

Exchange Bias In Fef20-Copt Heterosystems With Perpendicular Anisotropy, Christian Binek

The previous exchange bias effect is measured in heterosystems with perpendicular anisotropy consisting of Co/Pt multilayers on top of the (0 0 1) face of a previous FeF2 single crystal. The resulting previous exchange field HE exhibits a strong dependence on temperature and the axial freezing field, HF. Within the framework of an Ising-type model, the HE vs. T as well as the HE vs. HF data are explained in terms of the microscopic spin structure at the interface.

The exchange bias effect is measured for the first time in FeF2–CoPt heterosystems with perpendicular anisotropy. The exchange previous field exhibits a strong dependence on the axial previous freezing field. This behavior is explained in terms of the microscopic spin structure at the interface, which is established on cooling to below TN. We calculate the dependence of the spin structure on the previous freezing field within the framework of an Ising model. It takes into account the Zeeman energy as well as an antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between the adjacent layers at the interface.
