The magnetic anisotropy and rotational hysteresis loss in Ni–Fe/Mn–Ir bilayers were investigated for films prepared by an ultraclean sputtering deposition process. An in-plane field of 30 Oe during deposition served to define the antiferromagnetic (AF) alignment axis for the Mn–Ir layer. The Ni–Fe layer thickness was maintained at 50 A and the Mn–Ir layer thickness ranged from 20 to 200 A. Room temperature magnetization and torque measurements were made as a function of the Mn–Ir layer thickness dAF and the applied field. The magnetization data were obtained for fields applied in the same direction as during deposition. The magnetization data indicate a critical dAF value of 37 A, taken as dAFcr. For dAF>dAFcr, the data show hysteresis loops which are displaced along the field axis. The torque response and rotational hysteresis characteristics are sensitive to both dAF and the measuring field. (1) When dAF is much less than dAFcr, the torque curves have a sin θ characteristic at fields below 30–40 Oe or s...
