Combined strain-controlled exchange bias blocking temperature in CoFeB/IrMn bilayers with antiferromagnetic fourfold anisotropy

Key Points

• Blocking temperature is directly modulated by applying strain to the CoFeB/IrMn bilayers, enhancing magnetic performance.
• Key metrics include an observable shift in the blocking temperature under various strain conditions.
• Analysis employs strain-controlled techniques to examine the exchange bias effects within the bilayers.
• These findings support future applications in magnetic devices, indicating a need for further exploration of strain impacts.
