Effective models for exchange bias systems based on atomistic spin dynamics simulations — •Irina Stockem, Stefan Muschack, and Christian Schröder — Bielefeld Institute for Applied Materials Research, University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld, Wilhelm-Bertelsmann-Str. 10, 33602 Bielefeld, Germany

The exchange bias anisotropy was observed at stacked ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic layers by Meiklejohn and Bean in the 1950th [1]. The exchange bias leads to an asymmetric shift of the hysteresis loop, which is fixed during the fabrication process in conventional systems. In novel systems, like Co/Cr2O3, this shift can be switched [2]. Although the discovery of the exchange bias is more than half a century ago a comprehensive theoretical model is still missing. Many simplified and analytical solvable models exist but these are not applicable to real exchange biased structures. In order to obtain a better understanding of the dominating factors of exchange bias systems we have developed effective models and investigated these by spin dynamics simulations [3]. We compare our results to existing models and to atomistic spin dynamics simulations of a three dimensional Co/Cr2O3 model system.
