摘要: Exchange bias measurements of ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic (F/AF) bilayers are typically performed with the magnetization F layer parallel to AF interface. We describe Co/Pt multilayers out-of-plane magnetic easy axis that exchange biased CoO. Field-cooling experiments applied field perpendicular and sample plane exhibit loop shifts enhanced coercivities. Modeling comparison biasing samples planar suggests such provide a way probe spin projections at F/AF interfaces.
