Abstract
Hysteresis loop measurements using magnetooptic Kerr effect magnetometry in the low frequency region and magnetization dynamics measurements using high frequency permeametry are carried out to study the exchange anisotropy in Ni81Fe19/Ir22Mn78 bilayers. These two measurement techniques provide different exchange anisotropies for bilayers with thin Ir22Mn78 films. The observations can be understood by assuming that the AF grains break into domains due to the interface random field. By analysing the results from these two techniques, the interface coupling strength and the magnetic properties of the bilayers can be quantitatively determined.
