The Multi-Scale Dynamics of All-Optical Exchange Bias Reversal
Floris J. F. van Riel, Andries B. M. Droste, Bert Koopmans +1
Pinning magnetization in a ferromagnetic thin film is commonly realized through exchange biasing with an adjacent antiferromagnet. Field-cooling from above the Néel temperature is…
