Abstract

Angular dependence of H_ex and H_c, and the critical angle behavior are measured in CoFe/MnIr bilayers annealed at 200°C and 340°C. The interfacial exchange coupling anisotropy and the antiferromagnet anisotropy at t_AF < t_AF^c are estimated from the best fitting of angular dependence of H_ex and H_c using Stoner-Wohlfarth (S-W) model. These results confirm existence of interfacial exchange coupling anisotropy between F and AF layers for t_AF < t_AF^c. The measured critical angles for t_AF > t_AF^c as well as for t_AF < t _AF^c are well explained using S-W model.
