The texture and the dependences of the exchange-coupling field on the thickness of Bi, Ag, and Cu in Ta/NiFe/Bi(Ag, Cu) /FeMn/Ta and Ta/NiFe/FeMn/Bi(Ag, Cu)/NiFe/Ta films were studied. XPS results indicate that the Bi atoms migrated into the FeMn layer during the deposition process and a FeMnBi alloy was probably formed or the Bi atoms existed as an impurity in the FeMn layer in Ta/NiFe/Bi(Ag, Cu )/FeMn/Ta.
