Abstract

In the present work the mean field theory is used to determine the magnetic properties of a GdCo "planar" layer under exchange interaction with a TbFeCo "perpendicular" layer. The magnetization distributions φ₁ nd φ₂ in the planar and perpendicular layers are determined from a micromagnetic model using a variational method of the magnetic energies in the temperature range 0-500 K. φ₂ presents small change with the temperature. On the other hand, φ₁ and its mean value 〈φ₁〉 are very sensitive to the temperature and the layer composition and thickness. A temperature induced phase transition with a magnetization reorientation from in-plane to a perpendicular direction can be induced in the planar layer in a temperature window ΔT which depends on its compensation temperature T_CPI and its thickness which has to be lower than a critical value.
