摘要
采用了Monte-Carlo方法,讨论了反铁磁层中不同非磁性掺杂浓度下,铁磁/反铁磁双层膜中交换偏置的温度特性.模拟结果显示:反铁磁层中非磁性掺杂能导致铁磁/反铁磁双层膜中交换偏置的增强.同时,交换偏置随非磁性掺杂浓度的变化存在极大值,即同一温度下交换偏置随掺杂浓度的变化是非单调的.并且,随着温度的升高交换偏置的最大值所对应的掺杂浓度向浓度低的方向移动.它和HongJung-Il等人的实验结果完全一致.究其原因在于反铁磁层相应的自旋排布、磁畴结构等随掺杂浓度的改变发生大的变化,当其正向磁畴和负向磁畴都形成连通的网络结构时,系统的交换偏置达最大.比较了随机掺杂与规则掺杂的模拟结果.模拟结果表明规则掺杂能够获得比随机掺杂更大的交换偏置,进一步表明了铁磁/反铁磁双层膜中交换偏置的特性与铁磁/反铁磁界面磁畴结构密切相关.
Based on Monte Carlo method, the characteristic of exchange bias is discussed in diluted antiferromagnets in FM/AFM bilayers by changing the dilute concentration. The simulation results show that the exchange bias in FM/AFM bilayers can be enhanced significantly by introducing nonmagnetic atoms into the AFM layers. And there is a maximum in the diagram of exchange bias as a function of the dilute concentration, i .e., the exchange bias at first increases then decreases with increasing concentration of dilution at the same temperature. Besides, the maximum of the exchange bias occurs at lower concentration for higher temperature. These are consistent with the results of Phys. Rev. Left. 96 117204 (2006). The cause of these results is that the spin distribution and the magnetic domain structure change greatly when varying dilute concentration. The exchange bias is maximal when the positive and the negative magnetic domains form a connected network. In addition, at the same concentration of dilution, by comparing the results of the random and regular dilution, we find that the exchange bias are more strongly increased by regular dilution than by random dilution for the FM/AFM bilayers, which shows further that the characteristic of exchange bias in FM/AFM bilayers depends on the interface spin-microstructure.
