A series of experiments is carried out to identify the fundamental mechanisms leading to the exchange-bias effect in ultrathin epitaxial layered ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic (FM/AFM) samples on Cu3Au(001). The studied samples are single-crystalline antiferromagnetic artificially layered [Ni/Mn] films covered by ferromagnetic Co layers, deposited under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions. The approach is to study the structural and magnetic properties of artificially ordered layers of Ni and Mn in contact to Co by using low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and magneto-optical Kerr effect, respectively, and comparing with disordered NixMn1−x alloy films with the same Ni/Mn ratio and the same film thickness. We found from LEED I(V) curves that the perpendicular interatomic lattice distance is decreased in the artificially layered [Ni/Mn] samples in comparison to the disordered NixMn1−x alloy films. This change in the structure causes higher coercivity, exchange bias, and stronger exchange coupling in artificially layered [Ni/Mn] samples compared to disordered NixMn1−x alloy films.
