An element-sensitive hysteresis loop study of an exchange-biased Co/NiO bilayer
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract An exchange-biased Co/NiO bilayer was studied by measuring element specific hysteresis loops. A phase-sensitive detection scheme based on fast switching of the polarization of the X-rays was developed for this measurement. Uncompensated Ni 2+ spins at the Co/NiO interface were observed for the first time. In addition, part of the Ni 2+ spins were found to switch with the Co layer.
