Homework Statement


Hello everyone. This is my first post.
I'm working now on my laboratory report from GMR effect. I have to calculate the antiferromagnetic coupling for my multilayers. I have only resistance versus magnetic field graphs.

Homework Equations


I want to use the equation:
##J_{AF}=-\frac{\mu_0 M_S t}{4}H_S##
It's easy to find ##H_S##, ##\mu_0## and t is given, and I need ##M_S##.

The Attempt at a Solution


I have found equation $$H_S=\frac{K}{M_S},$$ but there is next unknown K, which is the anisotropy constant, and I'm not sure how it is for permalloy which the multilayers were made.

Thank you for your help.

To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
