Abstract
The angular dependence of the exchange bias($H_{ex}$) and coercivity($H_c$) in multilayer $[Pt/Co]_N-IrMn$ with applied measuring field rotated toward in-plane at angle $\theta$ from perpendicular-to-plane, has been measured. Multilayer films consisting of $Si/SiO_2/Ta(50)/Pt(4)/[Pt(15)/Co(t_{Co})]_N/IrMn(50)/Ta(50)(in\;{\AA})$ were prepared by magnetron sputtering under typical base pressure below $2{\times}10^{-8}$ Torr at room temperature. Magnetization measurements were performed on a vibrating sample magnetometer and extraordinary Hall voltage measurement systems after cooling from 550 K under a field of 2 kOe applied along the perpendicular to film direction. The hysteresis loop shifts from the origin not only along the field axis but also along the magnetization axis. $H_{ex}$ and $H_c$ show a $1/cos{\theta}$ and $1/|cos{\theta}|$ dependence on the angle($\theta$) between the applied measuring field and the perpendicular-film direction, respectively. This $1/cos{\theta}$ dependence can be accounted for by considering the angular dependence of strong out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy introduced during the field cooling.
마그네트론 스퍼터링방법으로 제작한 다층박막 $[Pt/Co]_N-IrMn$에 측정자기장이 박막면에 수직한 방향에서 면방향으로 각도 $\theta$방향으로 인가될때, 교환결합바이어스($H_{ex}$)와 보자력($H_c$)의 각도의존성이 측정되었다. 자기이력곡선은 인가 자기장축 뿐 아니라 자화축에 대하여도 그 원점이 이동하여 비대칭을 나타내었다. $H__{ex}$와 $H_c$는 각도$\theta$에 대하여 각각 $1/cos{\theta}$과 $1/|cos{\theta}|$ 의존성을 나타내며, 이와 같은 각도의존특성은 자기장냉각(박막면에 수직방향)을 통하여 생긴 강한 수직자기이방성에 기인하는 것을 알 수 있다.
