Abstract

The unidirectional anisotropy arising in a ferromagnetic film on an antiferromagnetic substrate due to the proximity effect is investigated. Consideration is given to the smooth and rough film-substrate interfaces. The conditions of the formation of a domain wall in the film and the passage of the wall into the substrate in the course of magnetization reversal are determined. The parameters of the static spin vortices formed in the vicinity of the rough interface are studied as functions of the magnetic field strength.
