Co/CoO nanocomposite thin films have been deposited by RF sputtering with different oxygen partial pressures in the working atmosphere. It has been found that the magnetic properties (exchange bias (EB), coercivity and remanence) of the films are strongly dependent on the oxygen partial pressure. Fi...
