Influence of an interface layer on the effective coupling at a ferromagnet/antiferromagnet interface

We examine the exchange anisotropy induced at a ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic interface when an antiferromagnetic interface layer exists. We show that competition between exchange couplings in the interface layer can result in a ferrimagnetic-like compensation point. This leads to a reversal of th...
