The ground state magnetization of nanowires built of ferromagnetic crystallites is considered taking into account the magnetostatic interaction. The criterion of formation of domains is found. The thickness of a domain wall is calculated analytically and the results are compared with the numerical simulations. We show that when the exchange coupling between crystallites is absent its role is played by magnetostatics that ensures the existence of stable domain structure. The direction of the induced anisotropy axis is shown to be determined by the shape of crystallites.

Co/Co 3 O 4 bilayers were fabricated by magnetron sputtering with Co and Co 3 O 4 targets. The exchange bias effect was observed at 80K, which was much higher than the N• el temperature of Co 3 O 4 (about 40K). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that CoO was formed near the Co/Co 3 O 4 interface, probably due to diffusion of oxygen atoms. The angular dependence of exchange coupling in Co/Co 3 O 4 bilayers could not be satisfied with simple cosine function, and the position of the maximum of exchange bias departed from the FM easy axis. The mechanism including rotatable anisotropy and movement of domain wall in AF was used to explain the experiment results.

Possible interface effects are examined theoretically for oscillatory exchange coupling between ferromagnetic metal films separated by a nonmagnetic spacer film. It is argued that the exchange coupling is sensitive to aspects of the magnetic film’s electronic structure, and evidence from magnetic film doping experiments is described. Possible effects of interface electronic states are also explored. Finally, a suggestion for a new type of domain wall resonance experiment is made that could provide unique measures of local values of the exchange coupling strength.
