Abstract

In its common way the exchange-bias (EB) effect appears in F/AF bilayers, if the antiferromagnet is cooled below its blocking temperature in the presence of an external magnetic field and an exchange field produced by the magnetic moments of the ferromagnet, as originally found in the CoO/Co system by Meiklejohn and Bean in 1956.
