Non-collinear magnetic configuration mediated exchange coupling at the interface of antiferromagnet and rare-earth nanolayers

Abstract Mn $$_{3}$$ 3 Ir/CoFe bilayer is a prototypical exchange-coupled antiferromagnet (AF)–ferromagnet (FM) system. Nevertheless, a strong exchange coupling between FM and rare-earth(RE) interfaces of Fe/Dy and Fe/Tb has been established earlier. Strong coupling at the FM–RE interface originates...
