Abstract

The stability of the exchange biasing field, H_eb has been studied for NiO/Ni₆₆CO₁₈Fe₁₆ bilayers. A forced antiparallel alignment of the ferromagnetic magnetization to H_eb results in a gradual decrease and even a reversal of H_eb. The decrease of H_eb increases with temperature and is independent of the external field and NiO layer thickness. This decrease can be interpreted by a thermally assisted relaxation process. A new effect of the relaxation process on H_eb is demonstrated by using different cooling rates.
