Effect of temperature on magnetization reversal characteristics of ferromagnetic 3d metal layers within exchange-coupled FeMn-based structures

Multilayer films Fe20Ni80/FeMn/FM (with FM = Ni, Fe11Ni89, Fe20Ni80, Co30Ni70, Fe, Co) have been prepared and their structure has been estimated. Their hysteretic properties and interlayer coupling parameters have been studied in a temperature range of 5–350 K. Regularities of the magnetization reversal of ferromagnetic layers under magnetic exchange-bias conditions have been interpreted.
