Indirect exchange coupling for orthogonal anisotropies

Abstract
In magnetic trilayers W(110)/Fe/Cr/Fe/Cr, the in-plane anisotropies can be tailored in such a way that the easy axis of the first Fe film is along [11¯0] and that of the second one along [001]. Magnetization loops of those samples with orthogonal anisotropies were observed by Kerr magnetometry. From fitting the loops, both bilinear and biquadratic coupling constants could be determined independently.
