摘要
We report the observation of exchange bias in (Pt/Co0.90Fe0.10)(n)/FeMn multilayers, with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. We analyze the behavior of the exchange-bias field H-eb as a function of temperature, FeMn thickness, number of (Pt/Co0.90Fe0.10) bilayers, and annealing conditions. Measurements carried out with field applied perpendicular to the plane of the samples indicate that the hysteresis loops present 100% of remanent magnetization, with H-eb reaching 200 Oe and a tunable coercive field, depending on Co and Pt thickness ratio and on Pt buffer thickness. Furthermore, spin-valves of the form (Pt/Co0.90Fe0.10)(n)/NM/(Co0.90Fe0.10/Pt)(m)/Co0.90Fe0.10/FeMn with NM=Cu or Pt have been prepared. They exhibit two well separated hysteresis loops when the field is applied perpendicular to the plane. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
