Foster ISIS, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, Didcot, OX11 0QX, United Kingdom (Received 15 April 2002; published 26 July 2002) Exchange bias has been observed in sputtered magnetic double superlattices which consist of a ferromagnetically coupled superlattice grown on an antiferromagnetically (AF) coupled superlattice. This system exhibits a parallel domain wall, a spin flop transition, and exchange bias when the anisotropy is large in the AF block. This work shows that neither the domain wall nor the spin flop are directly related to exchange bias but that the anisotropy is essential. ©2002 The American Physical Society URL: http://link.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v89/e077201 doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.89.077201 PACS: 75.70.Cn, 75.50.Ss Additional Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Full Text: [ PDF (266 kB) GZipped PS Order Document ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ References Citation links [e.g., Phys.
