Abstract
The anisotropy contributions in epitaxial Fe/MnPd bilayers were analyzed in this study. It was found that due to ferromagnetic–antiferromagnetic interfacial exchange coupling, large uniaxial and cubic anisotropy contributions are also induced, in addition to the unidirectional anisotropy. These contributions play an essential role in the magnetization reversal process of the system, in which unusual reversal processes were found upon some fields orientations.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
