摘要
The shape of hysteresis loops in exchange-bias systems can be fully tailored from single-shifted to double-shifted loops (with adjustable magnetization amplitudes and horizontal shifts, see Figure) through exploiting the length scales of the exchange bias via carefully engineered heat-treatment processes. This provides a valuable tool to engineer multilayer magnetic properties after multilayer deposition.
