H. Fujiwara et al., THE EFFECT OF BIQUADRATIC EXCHANGE COUPLING ON THE MAGNETIZATION CONFIGURATION IN MULTILAYERED FILMS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 144, 1995, pp. 519-520
The effect of biquadratic exchange coupling (J(2)) on the magnetizatio
n configuration in multilayered GMR films as a function of field in th
e easy and hard directions has been investigated. The complexity of th
e configurations caused by J(2) may explain varieties of hysteresis an
d GMR curves obtained experimentally. Transverse biased permeability m
easurements make it possible to estimate both the bilinear (J(1)) and
biquadratic (J(2)) effective fields.
