Tunable coupling in magnetic thin film heterostructures with a magnetic phase transition

Abstract The magnetic properties of permalloy-based trilayers of the form Py0.8Cu0.2/Py0.4Cu0.6/Py/IrMn were studied as the spacer layer undergoes a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition. We find the coupling between the free Py0.8Cu0.2 layer and the exchange bias pinned Py to be strongly t...
