Abstract
Magnetic interlayer coupling of a bilayer structure composed of a tetragonal phase SrRuO3 (T-SRO) and a monoclinic phase SRO (M-SRO) was investigated by means of magnetization and magneto-transport measurements. The T-SRO showed large uniaxial perpendicular anisotropy and M-SRO exhibited longitudinal anisotropy. The thickness of the M-SRO top layer was varied and the bottom T-SRO layer remained unchanged. Magnetic hysteresis (M-H) loops showed that as thickness of the M-SRO layer is 4 nm, the M-SRO layer was fully perpendicularly coupled to the T-SRO layer. As the thickness of M-SRO further increased to 8 nm and above, the magnetization reversals of T- and M-SRO phase were clearly distinguished. The angular dependent magnetoresistance (MR) of the bilayers showed consistent results with the M-H loops, which suggests that angle dependent MR may offer a new way for the investigation of exchange coupling between two magnetic layers.
