Tuning perpendicular exchange bias in IrMn/[Co/Pt] and IrMn/CoFe/Co/[Pt/Co] systems with ultra thin Pt layers
As-deposited IrMn/[Co/Pt] systems with ultra thin Pt layers (∼5.0 Å) have no perpendicular exchange bias and exhibit in-plane anisotropy. After perpendicular field-annealing, the perpendicular exchange bias is established and can be tuned by the Co thickness. It is found that the perpendicular excha...
