  • Abstract
    In the present study, the atomic structure of Co1-xMgxO was modeled and the density of uncompensated spins due to the presence of Mg atoms was calculated as a function of Mg concentration, x. The results were also compared with experimental measurements of exchange bias field (Hex) of Co/Co1-xMgxO bilayers, and with the ther-moremanent moments (TRM) of Co1-xMgxO. The formation of uncompensated spins in AFM CoO with substitution of Co atoms with non-magnetic Mg atoms was calculated from a direct modeling of the atomic structure, and their effects on the exchange coupled bilayers were confirmed.
