摘要
We investigate the surface acoustic wave(SAW)modulation of the exchange bias field(H_(EB))in Py/IrMn films deposited on LiNbO_(3)substrates.We measured the anisotropic magnetoresistance(AMR)of the multilayer film when continuous SAW or pulsed SAW were applied and obtained H_(EB).With continuous SAW,the H_(EB)decreases continuously with power.While in the case of pulsed SAW,the H_(EB)first decreases and then stabilizes.Compared to pulsed SAW,the thermal effects from the continuous SAW lead to the continuous decrease of H_(EB)at higher SAW power,which is verified by the measurement of H_(EB)at different temperatures and input currents.Furthermore,our results show that pulsed SAW can effectively avoid thermal effects.The decrease of H_(EB)at smaller power in both continuous and pulsed SAW is mainly due to the SAW-induced dynamic strain field,which leads to a small perturbation in the magnetic moment of the FM layer.Combined with the AMR values measured at different angles during the saturation field,we believe that the SAW-induced dynamic strain field causes a 15°angle between the magnetic moment and the easy axis.Our experiments provide a different approach to manipulating H_(EB),opening up a potential avenue for future manipulation of antiferromagnetic moments.
