Abstract
Exchange induced unidirectional anisotropy has been observed in a new bilayer system consisting of a ferromagnetic FeTaN or Ni80Fe20 film co upled to an antiferromagnetic Cr-Al alloy film. Estimates of the excha nge coupling energy and magnetic anisotropy constant of the antiferrom agnet are made and compared to other exchange coupled systems. (C) 199 7 American Institute of Physics.
