摘要
Exchange-biased NiFe/FeMn/Co trilayers were grown by dc magnetron sputtering and analyzed by in-plane ferromagnetic resonance using Q-band microwaves. The experiments revealed that distinct Co and NiFe resonance modes were excited by the microwave field. A misalignment between the anisotropy axes of the magnetic layers was deduced from the angular variations of the resonance fields, which also showed the effects of uniaxial and unidirectional anisotropies. A phenomenological model was used to fit the experimental results taking also into account a rotatable anisotropy field associated to the domain structure of the FeMn layer and the magnetic history of the films.
