摘要
The exchange coupling at the ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic （FM/AFM） interface is influenced by both the magnetic structure and the crystalline micro-structure. Co/FeMn/Co thin films with 0.4 nm Pt spacer layer inserted into the Co/FeMn and FeMn/Co interface respectively were deposited by means of magnetron sputtering. The two interfaces upon and beneath the FeMn layer show distinct behaviors before and after the Pt spacer inserted. There is a remarkable shrink of the interracial uncompensated spins within the FeMn bottom interracial monolayers, whereas a relaxation of the pinning strength of the FeMn interfacial spins along the out-of-plane direction occurs at the top in- terface. XRD analysis indicates the Pt layer upon the FeMn layer forms an fcc （002） texture, implying the magnetic discrepancy between the top and bottom FeMn interfaces has crystalline structural origins.
