Abstract
NiO thickness dependences of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in the NiO/[CoFe/Ft]5 multilayers for exchange biasing and [CoFe/Ft]4/Pt/[CoFe/Ft]4 for interlayer exchange coupling were investigated. Perpendicular magnetization curve was obtained by out-of-plane extraordinary Hall measurement. Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) has been used for the investigation of magnetic domains on thin films. We confirmed that the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) as a function of NiO thickness at room temperature existed with a period of two monolayers.
Keywords: perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA); interlayer exchange coupling (IEC); [CoFe/Pt] multilayers; extraordinary Hall-voltage
