Abstract
An overview is given of the material properties of exchange-biased spin-valves. More specifically, we discuss the microstructure and magnetic properties of these materials as relevant for (future) industrial application in magnetoresistive read heads for rigid disk and tape recording and Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) devices
