Abstract

Over the past few years, the influence of magnetic domain walls on transport properties has attracted great interest. In this paper, we fabricated a series of samples of IrMn(20nm)/NiFe(t nm)/FeMn(20nm) with t = 5, 10, 20, 50, and 80nm. The films were deposited under a magnetic field of 100Oe and then annealed at 250°C to induce the exchange bias of IrMn/NiFe and NiFe/FeMn parallel to each other. After that, the samples were annealed at 155°C under a reversed magnetic field of -1 Tesla, which reversed the exchange bias direction of NiFe/FeMn resulting in the exchange bias of NiFe/FeMn antiparallel to that of IrMn/NiFe.
