The exchange bias of a permalloy and ordered structure of epitaxial PtMn prepared from the growth of thin (Pt/Mn) multilayers

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The influence of PtMn composition and post-annealing on the structure and the exchange bias of epitaxial PtMn(150 Å)/Ni80Fe20(50 Å) films using multilayer growth of [Mn(2 Å<XÅ<3.2 Å)/Pt (2 Å)]N was studied. The optimal Hex increases to ∼360 Oe after annealing at 250 °C for 18 h. The X-ray diffraction study indicates that the integrated intensity of the FCT PtMn(1 1 0) diffraction peak scales quite well with the exchange biasing field and order parameter.
