Introduction Exchange Bias – AF/F bilayer interaction. Double Multilayer Structures – model system for AF/F studies. Modelling – can predict magnetic structure. Neutron Reflectometry – depth sensitive vector magnetometry.

Exchange Bias Problems with Meiklejohn-Bean: Predicted exchange bias orders of magnitude too large. Coercivity enhancement is not predicted. Temperature dependence is not predicted. Antiferromagnet Ferromagnet

Summary A large anisotropy in the antiferromagnet is necessary for exchange bias. A Mauri type exchange spring exists in the exchanged biased multilayers – model system for perfect interface. Planar wall confined to AF layers.
