Bi-domain state in the exchange bias system FeF2/FM with FM=Fe, Co or Ni — •Oleg Petracic1,2, Igor V. Roshchin1, Zhi-Pan Li1, Rafael Morales1, Xavier Batlle1, and Ivan K.

Independently exchange biased subsystems can coexist in FeF2/FM bilayers (FM=Fe, Co or Ni) after various field-cooling protocols. This is evidenced from double hysteresis loops found in magnetization and spatially resolved magneto-optic Kerr-data. Surprisingly the double loops are not only found after zero-field cooling, but also using intermediate cooling fields. In both cases the ferromagnet does not experience an average bias from the antiferromagnet but rather two independent subsystems (’bi-domain’ state). This idea is confirmed by micromagnetic simulations including the effect of the antiferromagnet. We also present experiments, where thermally activated motion of these antiferromagnetic ’domain’ boundaries can be achieved.
