Magnetization reversal of antiferromagnetically coupled (AFC) soft and hard (Co/Pd) multilayers was studied as a function of temperature. While the hard [Co(0.3 nm)/Pd(0.8 nm)]×10 was kept unchanged, the softness of the [Co(t)/Pd(0.8 nm)]×3 was controlled by varying the thickness t of the Co sublaye...
