Characterisation of interface spin clusters in polycrystalline exchange bias thin films

A study of exchange bias systems has been made focusing on the characteristics of the interfacial spin clusters found in-between the bilayers. The materials studied were primarily IrMn (10nm) / CoFe (2nm) thin films of varying grain sizes. They were selected as the bulk properties have already been...
