Controlling domain configuration of the sensing layer for magnetic tunneling junctions by using exchange bias

The control of magnetic domain formation and fluctuations in the sensing layer is important to progress for low noise in magnetic tunnel junction sensors. We studied the effect of exchange bias on the domain structure in micro-patterned Permalloy (Py: Ni80Fe20) sensing layer. We deposited single Py...
