Ab initio calculation of interlayer exchange coupling in Co-based synthetic antiferromagnet with alloy spacer
Synthetic antiferromagnets (SAF) are widely used in magnetic tunnel junctions in order to reduce the stray field of the pinned layer. In SAF, the antiparallel spin alignment is stabilized by interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) between two ferromagnetic layers that are separated by a spacer layer. The...
