Abstract

Summary form only given. Amorphous ferrimagnetic TbCo films can be successively used to exchange bias spin-valves. These films have dominant perpendicular anisotropy and a small in-plane magnetization component required for exchange coupling to the adjacent ferromagnetic layer. In this work spin-valve Co/Tb/Co/Cu/Co films with pinning multilayered pseudoferrimagnetic structures have been prepared.
