摘要: Abstract This work investigates the different magnetic reversal mechanisms of as-grown and oxygen-ion (O+) implanted MnxOy/Ni80Fe20 bilayers. A bilayer was prepared by ion-beam sputter deposition in an Ar+ atmosphere using a partially oxidised Mn target. Oxygen implantations were then performed 8 keV O+ ions at fluences 1016, 1017 1018 ions/cm2 to modify exchange bias strength interface. The magnetic, crystallographic chemical properties bilayers before after implantation studied transmission electron microscopy, X-ray reflectometry, magnetometry polarised neutron reflectometry. results show overall improved coercivity for 1017 ions/cm2 sample shows greatest improvement further its detailed spin-reversal behaviour Data analysis magnetically-trained state reveals coexistence coherent rotational non-coherent spin solely rotation mechanism bilayer.
