Abstract
FeSm/FeTaN hard/soft multilayers with well-defined in-plane uniaxial anisot ropy have been grown. Exchange spring behavior is observed and its occurren ce and character is correlated with component layer thicknesses and volume fractions. The dc demagnetization remanence technique is used to determine the irreversible changes in the magnetization of the exchange spring struct ure. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
