We have determined the dependence of exchange coupling on the antiferromagnetic layer thickness (t(AF)) in FeMn/NiFe bilayers, where the FeMn layer varies from 0.5 to 32 nm, and the NiFe is constant at 30 nm. For t(AF)>3 nm, the exchange field H-ex varies as (1/t(AF))(0.3) at both 80 and 300 K, whereas the coercivity is insensitive to t(AF). The value of H-ex displays a simple angular dependence of cos theta. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-8979(99)39508-6].
