The phenomenology of exchange bias and related effects in nanostructures is reviewed.
The types of systems discussed include: lithographically fabricated ferromagnetic (FM) …

Exchange anisotropy refers to the magnetic manifestations of an exchange coupling at the
interface between two different magnetically ordered systems. Of particular current …

We review the phenomenology of exchange bias and related effects, with emphasis on
layered antiferromagnetic (AFM)–ferromagnetic (FM) structures. A compilation of materials …

In this paper we provide a review and overview of a series of works generated in our
laboratory over the last 5 years. These works have described the development and evolution …

Exchange bias and magnetic proximity effects are two novel phenomena that are in the
limelight because of their fundamental and technological importance. Since both …

Exchange bias is a physical phenomenon whereby the spins of a ferromagnet are pinned by
those of an antiferromagnet, and this phenomenon has played an undisputed role in …

An overview is given of the material properties of exchange-biased spin-valves. More
specifically, we discuss the microstructure and magnetic properties of these materials as …

The blocking temperature TB has been determined as a function of the antiferromagnetic
layer thickness in the Fe 3 O 4/CoO exchange biased system. For CoO layers thinner than …

The growth of iron-oxide films on Pt (111) prepared by iron deposition and subsequent
oxidation was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and high-resolution low …
