Our studies evidence an anisotropic magnetic order below $T_N = 32$~K. Susceptibility data in small fields of about 1~T reveal an antiferromagnetic (AFM) order for $H \perp c$, whereas for $H \parallel c$ the data are reminiscent of a…

Reliable operation of perpendicular spin-transfer-torque magnetic random-access memory (p-STT-MRAM) requires control of magnetic alignment within the synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) reference layer. At nanopillar dimensions, however,…
