La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrRuO3 superlattices grown on piezoelectric substrates show large antiferromagnetic coupling of the two ferromagnetic components and a significant strain effect on interfacial coupling [1]. Here we present a systematic investigation of the antiferromagnetic interface coupling in bilayers of SrRuO3 (SRO) and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO), grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on (100)- oriented SrTiO3 substrates. Epitaxial and coherent growth of the bilayers was confirmed by in-situ RHEED and ex-situ x-ray diffraction (XRD). Magnetic characterization was performed by SQUID magnetometry. We observed a strong dependence of the AFM coupling on the layer sequence and the thickness of the individual layers. The bilayers exhibit exchange bias, with the magnitude and sign of the exchange field strongly dependent on cooling field. Results of this study and ongoing work will be discussed.
