Abstract

To confirm the origin of the exchange coupling through the nano-oxide layer (NOL), the detailed analyses of the magnetization curve and the temperature dependence on magnetization for the Co_1- _xFe_x-NOL samples with various oxidation processes are investigated. The field cooling effect is observed for NOL-inserted samples, which suggests the existence of the antiferromagnetic (AFM) component in the NOL. The characteristic temperature (blocking temperature) increases with increase in the Fe content for Co_1-xFe _x(x=0.08,0.17,0.26)-NOL. These results support that NOL pinning appears higher than room temperature. Further, the twisted coupling through the NOL observed for the Co_0.50Fe_0.50-NOL is discussed from the viewpoint of the magnetic roughness due to the ferrimagnetic nature of the very thin NOL in specular spin valve (SPSV).
