The magnetization reversal processes in an exchange-coupled nanocomposite system, consisting of a continuous film of the ferromagnet Ni 77 Fe 14 Mo 15 Cu 4 with a square mesh of the antiferromagnet FeMn on top, as a function of an external magnetic field were investigated by the magneto-optical indi...
