Theoretical and experimental studies of exchange bias in thin films

薄膜交换偏置的理论与实验研究。包含不同类型的磁性材料（特别是铁磁性和反铁磁性）的层的膜具有在用于记录和处理计算机数据的磁电子器件中被利用的特性。这些性质是由层间界面的新型磁化过程决定的。在本项目中，将对接口的磁行为进行调查，以提供新设备和现有设备的设计和优化方面的有价值的信息。在这个项目中开发的程序将适用于理解一系列新的原子工程磁性结构的行为。

Theoretical and experimental studies of exchange bias in thin films. Films containing layers of different types of magnetic materials - in particular, ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic - have properties which are being exploited in magneto-electronic devices used in recording and manipulation of computer data. These properties are determined by new types of magnetisation processes in the interface between layers. In this project investigations of the magnetic behaviour of interfaces will be made to provide information of value in the design and optimisation of new and existing devices. The procedures to be developed in this project will be applicable to the understanding of the behaviour of a new range of atomically engineered magnetic structures.
