Abstract
Spintronic and nanomagnetic devices often derive their functionality from layers of different materials and the interfaces between them. This is especially true for synthetic antiferromagnets — two or more ferromagnetic layers aligned in antiparallel arrangement and separated by metallic spacers or tunnel barriers. Here, we discuss the new opportunities that arise from synthetic antiferromagnets, as compared to crystal antiferromagnets or ferromagnets.Citation
