Field mapping and temperature dependence of magnetic domain memory induced by exchange couplings

Strong magnetic domain memory is achieved in [Co/Pd]IrMn exchange-biased ferromagnetic thin films when zero-field-cooled (ZFC) below their blocking temperature T _B . By mapping out the amount of memory throughout the entire magnetization cycle, from nucleation to saturation, at different temperatur...
