"description": "The interest in magnetic nanostructures exhibiting perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and ex-change bias effect has increased in recent years owing to their applications in a new generation of spintronic devices that combine several functionalities. We present a nanofabrication process used to induce perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and exchange bias. 30-nm-thick CoO/Co multilayers were deposited on nanostructured alumina templates with a broad range of pore diameters, 34 nm \u2264 Dp \u2264 96 nm, while maintaining the hexagonal lattice parameter at 107 nm. Increase of both the exchange bias field (HEB) and the coercivity (HC) (12 times and 27 times, respectively) was ob-served in the nanostructured films compared to the non-patterned film. The marked dependence of HEB and HC with antidot hole diameters pinpoints to an in-plane to out-of-plane changeover of the magnetic anisotropy at a nanohole diameter of \u223c 75 nm. Micromagnetic simulation shows the existence of antiferromagnetic layers that generate an exceptional magnetic configuration around the holes, named as antivortex-state. This configuration is responsible of inducing extra high-energy superdomain walls for samples with edge-to-edge distance (W) >> 27 nm and high-energy stripe magnetic domains for W < 27 nm, responsible of the perpendicular magnetic signal of the samples.",
