| Research Abstract |
A correlation between uncompensated (UC)antiferromagnetic (AF)spins and exchange bias (E. B.)strength was investigated for Mn_<74> Ir_<26>/Co_<100-x> Fe_x bilayers. The E. B. strength had a maximum at x=25 at.%, and the x-ray magnetic circular dichroism of Mn, representing the UC-AF spins, changed systematically in sign and magnitude with respect to x. A linear correlation was found between the E. B. strength and the root mean square magnitude of the UC-Mn spins. The hidden parameter connecting these two quantities might be exchange coupling energy at the hetero-interface, which varies as a function of the ferromagnetic layer composition. Based on the above findings, we succeeded to induce large (> 1. 2 erg/cm^2)E. B. strength on L1_2-Mn_3Ir/Co_<65> Fe_<35> bilayers with inserting an ultra-thin Co-Fe layer which induces large Mn-XMCD.
