Abstract

이온빔 증착법으로 제작한 코닝유리(Corning glass)/Ta(5 nm)/NiFe(7 nm)/FeMn(25 nm)/Ta(5 nm) 다층박막 구조에서 반강자성체 FeMn층 증착시 인가한 일축 이방성 자기장 방향에 따른 강자성체 NiFe층의 자화 스핀배열 의존성을 조사하였다. NiFe층과 FeMn 층 증착시 인가한 자기장 방향을 달리한 각도는 각각 $0^{\circ},\;45^{\circ},\;90^{\circ}$였다. 용이축 MR(magnetoresistaice) 곡선으로부터 얻은 교환결합세기(Hex)는 증착 자기장 각도가 $45^{\circ}$일 때 40 Oe로, $90^{\circ}$일 때는 거의 0 Oe로 감소하였다. 반면에 곤란축 MR 곡선으로부터 얻은 $H_{ex}$ 값은 증착 자기장 각도가 $45^{\circ}$일 때 35 Oe로, 90o일 때는 79 Oe로 증가하였다. 강자성체 층의 용이축과 반강자성체 층의 일축 이방성 방향이 $90^{\circ}$ 차이가 나는 계면에서도 FeMn층이 NiFe층의 자기모멘트 스핀방향을 회전시켜 교환결합 이방성 효과가 발생함을 알 수 있었다. The relation of ferromagnet anisotropic magnetization and the antiferromagnet atomic spin configuration has been investigated for variously angles of unidirectional deposition magnetic field of FeMn layer in Corning glas/Ta(5 nm)/NiFe(7 nm)/FeMn(25 nm)/ Ta(5 nm) multilayer prepared by ion beam deposition. Three unidirectional deposition angles of FeMn layer are $0^{\circ},\;45^{\circ}$, and $90^{\circ}$, respectively. The exchange bias field ($H_{ex}$) obtained from the measuring easy axis MR loop was decreased to 40 Oe in deposition angle of $45^{\circ}$, and to 0 Oe in the angle of $90^{\circ}$. One other side hand, $H_{ex}$ obtained from the measuring hard axis MR loop was increased to 35 Oe in deposition angle of $45^{\circ}$, and to 79 Oe in the angle of $90^{\circ}$. Although the difference of uniderectional axis between ferromagnet NiFe and antiferromagnet FeMn was 90o, the strong antiferromagnetic dipole moment of FeMn caused to rotate the weak ferromagnetic dipole moment of NiFe in the interface. This result implies that one of origins for exchange coupling mechanism depends on the effect of magnetic field angle during deposition of antiferromgnet FeMn layer.
