Exploiting Length Scales of Exchange-Bias Systems to Fully Tailor Double-Shifted Hysteresis Loops

The shape of hysteresis loops in exchange‐bias systems can be fully tailored from single‐shifted to double‐shifted loops (with adjustable magnetization amplitudes and horizontal shifts, see Figure) through exploiting the length scales of the exchange bias via carefully engineered heat‐treatment proc...

Description
Summary:The shape of hysteresis loops in exchange‐bias systems can be fully tailored from single‐shifted to double‐shifted loops (with adjustable magnetization amplitudes and horizontal shifts, see Figure) through exploiting the length scales of the exchange bias via carefully engineered heat‐treatment processes. This provides a valuable tool to engineer multilayer magnetic properties after multilayer deposition.
