The uncompensated spins on the surfaces of antiferromagnetic CoO films exhibit a thermoremanent magnetization after field cooling from T>TN that has the same temperature dependence as the exchange field of Ni81Fe19/CoO bilayers after field cooling. This suggests that these interfacial uncompensated spins are responsible for unidirectional anisotropy. A model based on a calculation of the density of these interfacial uncompensated spins predicts the correct magnitude of the exchange field, as well as the observed inverse dependence on average interfacial grain size.
