Coercivity and random interfacial exchange coupling in CoPt/Co films

Hard-soft bilayers are analogous to prototype exchange-biased ferromagnetic–antiferromagnetic systems as the minor loop of the soft layer is biased by the hard, and furthermore they offer bias layer tunability. In sputtered CoPt/Co hard-soft bilayers, we demonstrate that the exchange bias field show...

description Hard-soft bilayers are analogous to prototype exchange-biased ferromagnetic–antiferromagnetic systems as the minor loop of the soft layer is biased by the hard, and furthermore they offer bias layer tunability. In sputtered CoPt/Co hard-soft bilayers, we demonstrate that the exchange bias field shows a linear dependence on the hard layer magnetization, while the coercivity shows a quadratic dependence. Analysis of the minor hysteresis loop features supported by Monte-Carlo simulations provides clear evidence that the coercivity of the soft layer is mainly determined by the tunable randomness of the domain state of the hard layer.
