abstract = {The exchange bias anisotropy i.e. the shift of a hysteresis
loop of a ferromagnet along the magnetic field axis occurs
due to the exchange coupling of the ferromagnet to an
antiferromagnet. Its microscopic origin is still under
discussion. Available experimental data and the theoretical
models for this effect are summarized. The experimentally
employed methods of Brillouin light scattering, molecular
beam epitaxy, and SQUID-magnetometry are presented. The
influence of non-magnetic defects in the antiferromagnet
("Dilution of the antiferromagnet") on the exchange bias
field is investigated in the systems Co/Co1-yO and
Co/Co1-xMgxO. In both cases an increase of the exchange bias
field of up to a factor of 3 is found. Monte-Carlo
simulations from Dr. U. Nowak and Prof. Dr. K.D. Usadel
(Univ.-Duisburg) qualitatively confirm the experimental
results. These investigations result in a new model for
exchange bias that is consistent with many of the
experimental observations: Disorder in the antiferromagnet
enables the formation of antiferromagnetic domains, which
then cause a spin excess in the antiferromagnet at the
ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic interface which causes
exchange bias. Furthermore, the differences in the exchange
bias field determined with Brillouin light scattering and
magnetometry, the dependence of the ferromagnetic magnon
mode width enhancement, and the role of the applied magnetic
field during cooling of the exchange bias system below the
Néel temperature is investigated.},
