Magnetic anisotropy at metal/oxide interfaces has played a significant role in the development of technological applications in recording, spintronics, sensors and actuators over the years[1]. In this work we present a novel method to produce high quality Ni(0.95)Fe(0.1)/NiFeO multilayers with the aid of the natural oxidization procedure and with the help of a single magnetron sputtering head [2]. Doping of Ni by only 5% Fe results in enhanced layering quality as X-ray reflectivity reveals. Due to magnetostatic anisotropy, the multilayers were found to be in-plane magnetized. Mild thermal annealing (T = 525 K) results in the enhancement of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, mainly due to an increase in the uniaxial volume anisotropy term. Temperature-dependent hysteresis measurements between 4-400 K revealed considerable enhancement of coercivity and appearance of strong exchange bias effect.
