Steadfast perpendicular exchange coupling in an ultrathin CoO/PtFe double-layer: strain and spin orientation

A. D. Lamirand, M. M. Soares, A. Y. Ramos +5

We report on the exchange coupling and magnetic properties of a strained ultrathin CoO/PtFe double-layer with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The cobalt oxide growth by reactive…
