Fourfold magnetic anisotropy induced in CoFeB/IrMn bilayers by interfacial exchange coupling

Exchange bias (EB) occurring in ferromagnetic (FM)/antiferromagnetic (AFM) bilayers conventionally can lead to a unidirectional magnetic anisotropy ( ${K_{{\text{eb}}}}$ ) as well as an accompanied uniaxial magnetic anisotropy ( ${K_{\text{u}}}$ ). We observed an additional fourfold magnetic anisotr...
