Pulsed inductive microwave magnetometer response calculated for IrMn/FeNi bilayers

Micromagnetic simulations of a pulsed inductive microwave magnetometer (PIMM) experiment are performed using a well established model for exchange bias. The model (Interacting Grain Model) consists of ferromagnetic grains and antiferromagnetic grains with randomly distributed easy axes. A perfectly compensated interface between the ferromagnet and the antiferromagnet is assumed which leads to spin flop coupling. The antiferromagnetic layer is modelled as two totally antiparallel sublattices with a small intergrain exchange between each antiferromagnetic sublattice. Simulations of an experimental PIMM setup provide a shift of the minimum of the resonance frequency which is also observered experimentally.
