Composite magnetic nanostructures are a subject of high research interest, as they provide a number of exciting effects absent in live nature. Among others, much attention has been paid to the studies of exchange coupling in antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic (AFM/FM) films, which leads to the pinning...
