We have used the unique spatial sensitivity of polarized neutron and soft x-ray beams in reflection geometry to measure the depth dependence of magnetization across the interface between a ferromagnet and an antiferromagnet. The net uncompensated magnetization near the interface responds to applied field, while uncompensated spins in the antiferromagnet bulk are pinned, thus providing a means to establish exchange bias.
我们利用极化中子和软X射线束在反射几何结构中的独特空间灵敏度,来测量铁磁体与反铁磁体界面处磁化强度的深度依赖性。界面附近的净未补偿磁化强度对施加的磁场做出响应,而反铁磁体块体中的未补偿自旋被固定,从而提供了一种建立交换偏置的方法。
