Focused Kerr measurements on patterned arrays of exchange biased square dots
Microstructural effects on the antiferromagnetic layer were investigated on IrMn/Co exchange biased square dots. IrMn grain size and distributions were tuned by changing Cu buffer layer or IrMn thicknesses. Lateral dimensions from 200 to 50nm were varied. Exchange bias (Hex) variability was analyse...
