Short Summary

We will study complex twisted magnetic structures in double exchange-biased heterostructures, where a ferromagnetic layer is sandwiched between two antiferromagnets, exhibiting different Néel temperatures. Rather complex non-collinear magnetic structure can be realized by field cooling and analyzed in detail during different stages of thin film growth and on the fully grown sample by depth-resolved in-situ polarized neutron reflectometry technique and magneto-transport measurements. This system will be extended to thin film systems with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction supporting magnetic skyrmions, where pinning of skyrmions due to strong exchange bias coupling might appear.
