We have studied the magnetoresistance phenomena on spin valve thin films of antiferromagnetic NiO/CoO. Interlayer coupling oscillates between the antiferrocoupling and ferrocoupling with the variation of Cu thickness. The exchange coupling strength between NiO (antiferromagnetic) and NiFe(ferromagnetic) as a function of NiO texture and interface roughness is investigated by CoO insertion. CoO has significantly higher anisotropy in the (111) plane and interface roughness. It seems that the MR-ratio is increased by CoO inserted films. From the AFM and XRD data, the increase of MR-ratio and exchange field is influenced by the roughness of CoO.

In this paper we report the low and high angle diffraction results, and the magnetic and magnetroesistive characteristics of the spin valve multilayer structure prepared by the sputter machine Emerald II in the Balzers Laboratory. The investigated system consists of a ferromagnetic free layer (7 nm NiFe) and a ferromagnetic pinned layer (7 nm NiFe), separated from each other by a nonmagnetic (2.1 nm Cu) spacer. The NiFe pinned layer is fixed by the exchange coupling with an antiferromagnetic layer (10 nm FeMn). For such system the magnetoresistance ratio ΔR/R=3.58%, the interlayer exchange coupling $H_c=6.4$ Oe and the field sensitivity 1.15%/Oe were otained.

The epitaxial TM/bcc-Cr(001) (TM=Fe, Co, Ni) multilayers have been prepared using MBE. The crystal structure, interlayer exchange coupling and magnetoresistance of those multilayers have been discussed. The structure of Fe, Co and Ni grown on bcc-Cr(001) exhibited bcc(001), distorted hcp(1120) and fcc(110), respectively. In Fe/Cr multilayes, an oscillatory exchange coupling has been observed, but not observed in Ni/Cr system, which may come from the large mixing at interfaces. Large MR ratio (116%, 4.2K) has been obtained in Fe/Cr system, but only 2% in Co/Cr system. This difference can be understood from the view point of the relative potential geight for down spin electrons between TM and Cr.

Modification in exchange bias of a NiFe/FeMn/NiFe trilayer, on introduction of a nonmagnetic Al layer at the top FeMn/NiFe interface, is investigated in multilayers prepared by rf magnetron sputtering. The introduction of Al layer leads to vanishing of bias of the top NiFe layer. But the bias for the bottom NiFe layer increases steadily with increasing Al layer thickness and attains bias (230 Oe) which is greater than that of the trilayer without the Al layer (150 Oe). When the top NiFe layer thickness is varied, exchange bias has highest value at 12 nm thickness for 1 nm thicknes of Al layer. Ion beam etching of the top NiFe layer also leads to an enhancement in bias for the bottom NiFe layer.

DC 마그네트론 방식으로 제조한 PtMn계 상부층형(top) 스핀밸브 박막을 반강자성층인 PtM의 fcc (111) 구조에서 fat (111)구조 천이를 위하여 27$0^{\circ}C$에서 3 kOe의 외부자장을 가해주면서 일차적인 열처리를 한 후, 이차적으로 무자장 열처리를 하여 상온에서 자기적 특성을 조사하였다. Si/A1$_2$O$_3$ (500$\AA$)/Ta(50$\AA$)NiFe(40$\AA$)/CoFe(17$\AA$)/Cu(28$\AA$)/CoFe (30$\AA$)PtMn(200$\AA$)Ta(50$\AA$) top 스핀밸브 시료에서 자기저항비를 조사한 결과 열처리 온도가 높아질수록 자기저항비가 완만히 감소하나 325 $^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 급격히 감소하여 1 %까지 감소하는 것을 확인하였으며, 이것은 열처리 온도가 높아질수록 반강자성층과 피고정층사이의 교환 결합력이 약해지는 것에 기인하는 것으로 판단하였다. 열처리 온도 증가에 따른 교환 바이어스 자장은 325 $^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 급격히 감소하였고, 고정층과 자유층사이의 상호 결합 세기(interlayer coupling field, $H_{int}$)는 $325^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 크게 증가하였는데, 이것은 열처리 온도가 증가함에 다라 Mn의 상호 확산(inter-diffusion)dl 증가하여 계면에서의 거칠기(roughness)가 커지기 때문이라고 생각하였다. 이와 같은 결과에서 PtMn 스핀밸브의 급격한 자기적 특성변화가 일어나는 열처리 온도가 PtMn계 스핀밸브 박막의 블로킹 온도(blocking temperature, $T_b$)와 잘 일치함을 호가인할 수 있었다.

Some polycrystalline ferromagnetic mms are composed of continuously connected nanometer scale islands with random crystallite orientations. The nanometer perturbations of the mm introduce a large number of nearly degenerate local field configurations that are indistiguishable on a macroscopic scale. As a first step, this situation is modelled as a thin ferromagnetic disc coupled by exchange and dipole interactions to a homogeneous ferromagnetic plane, where the disc and plane have different easy axes. The model is solved to find the partial $N\acute{e}el$ domain walls that minimize the magnetic energy. The two solutions give a bistable configuration that, for appropriate geometries, provides an important microsopic ferromagnetic degree of freedom for the mm. These results are used to interpret recent measurements of exchange biased bilayer films.

Since the first discovery of exchange anisotropy on Co/CoO system[1], there have been numerous studies to explore the physical origin of exchange-biased system[2,3]. In this presentation, we report that how the polarized neutron reflectomery can be applied to study the magnetization reversal behavior of the exchange biased system. As an example, the detailed magnetization reversal mechanism of the exchange-biased Py(30 nm)/FeMn (0, 15, 30 nm)/CoFe(30 nm) trilayers was studied and found that the 15 nm antiferromagnetic FeMn layer mediates the magnetization reversal behaviors of both Py and CoFe layers through interlayer exchange bias coupling. We also update the current activities in polarized neutron reflectometer in HANARO.
