Abstract

The Monte Carlo simulation of behavior and magnetic properties of three types of active used spin-valve structures is carried out. It is identified the effect of magnetic anisotropy and intra- and interlayer exchange interaction influence on hysteresis phenomena in a spin-valve structures upon varying the thickness of nanosized ferromagnetic films.
