Coercivity enhancement in exchange biased systems driven by interfacial magnetic frustration Leighton, C. Nogués, Josep Jönsson-Akerman, B. J. Schuller, Ivan K. American Physical Society We report the temperature and cooling field dependence of the coercivity of exchange biased MnF2/Fe bilayers. When the antiferromagnetic surface is in a state of maximum magnetic frustration and the net exchange bias is zero, we observe a strong enhancement of the coercivity, which is proportional to the exchange coupling between the layers. Hence, the coercivity can be tuned in a reproducible and repeatable fashion in the same sample. We propose that a frustrated interface provides local energy minima which effectively pin the propagating domain walls in the ferromagnet, leading to an enhanced coercivity. 2000 Article Physical review letters ; Vol. 84, Issue 15 (April 2000), p. 3466-3469 open access Aquest material està protegit per drets d'autor i/o drets afins.
