High in-plane exchange bias up to 40 mT at room temperature was found through-out the whole hard ferrimagnetic layer of DyCo which is coupled to NiFe layer. The exchange bias effects can be achieved here by magnetizing the DyCo in perpendicu-lar direction in respect to the film plane. The direction of the shifts of the in-plane hysteresis is dependent on the direction of the pre-magnetization in the one or other direction. Results from magnetic optical Kerr effect (MOKE), X-ray magnetic cir-cular dichorism (XMCD) and Polarized Neutron Reflectometry (PNR) are discussed to investigate the mechanism behind.
