Abstract
⺠We studied modifications of the exchange bias (EB) parameters due to rapid anneal of IrMn/Co films. ⺠Broad maxima were observed in the EB field versus annealing temperature dependencies at â200°C. ⺠The EB field decreases after rapid anneal using temperatures between 200 and 300 °C. ⺠An improvement in the IrMn crystallinity or grain growth could account, in part, for this decrease. ⺠This mechanism for the EB decrease might be considered as adding to that of IrMn/Co interdiffusion.
