Title: Antiferromagnetic exchange bias of a ferromagnetic semiconductor by a ferromagnetic metal

Journal Article · · Physical Review B
OSTI ID:983045

We demonstrate an exchange bias in (Ga,Mn)As induced by antiferromagnetic coupling to a thin overlayer of Fe. Bias fields of up to 240 Oe are observed. Using element-specific x-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements, we distinguish an interface layer that is strongly pinned antiferromagnetically to the Fe. The interface layer remains polarized at room temperature.
