By cooling down the exchange biased Fe/FeF₂ bilayer system below the Néel temperature (T_N) of the AFM, a change of the spin structure in the FM layer is observed by CEMS. The ferromagnetic spins are always in the sample plane, and an average in-plane rotation of the spins equivalent to a spin fanning is observed. This spin fanning is reduced farther away from the interface. The NRS results are consistent with CEMS observations. A small out-of-plane spin component at the interface of the AFM layer is also observed. The interfacial spin structure of the AFM layer is modeled by an ellipsoidal spin distribution.
