Abstract :
In this work we represent a comprehensive study of indirect exchange coupling between ferromagnetic (F) and antiferromagnetic (AF) layers carried out on NiFe(5 nm)/Cu(d)/IrMn(10 nm) thin film structure. NiFe/Cu/IrMn films were fabricated by magnetron sputtering with a seed and a capping layers of Ta(5nm). The thickness d of the Cu spacer was varied from 0.2 nm to 2 nm. The Cu spacer thickness was carefully controlled by sputter condition and the thickness was confirmed by cross sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Auger depth profile.
