摘要
The CoO antiferromagnetic ordering in exchange-biased (001) Fe3O4/CoO superlattices has been determined as a function of temperature and magnetic field using neutron diffraction methods. The to spins preferentially align in domains in which the spins are perpendicular to the net Fe3O4 moment direction. This 90 degrees orientation between the Fe3O4 and CoO spins is a direct consequence of the interfacial exchange coupling giving rise to exchange biasing, as is not observed in a comparable MgO/CoO superlattice.
