Abstract

We report on the large coercivity enhancement in epitaxial Fe/FeRh bilayer grown on W(110). It is shown that the coercive field increases by almost an order of magnitude when the FeRh alloy undergoes a phase transition from the ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic state. Analysis of temperature spin structure evolution of the FeRh alloy across the magnetic transition reveals that the observed coercivity enhancement is caused by the interfacial spin-flop coupling between Fe and the antiferromagnetic FeRh layer.
