Exchange bias in epitaxial Fe/Ir0.2Mn0.8 bilayers grown on MgO (001)

Exchange bias has been studied in epitaxial Fe/Ir0.2Mn 0.8 (IrMn) bilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on MgO (0 0 1) substrates. The IrMn layer has a chemically disordered fcc structure with an epitaxial relationship of MgO(0 0 1)[1 1 0]//Fe(0 0 1)[1 0 0]//IrMn(0 0 1) [1 1 0]. In this system, e...
