摘　　要：The rotational anisotropies in the exchange bias structures of ferromagnetism/antiferromagnetism 1/antiferro- magnetism 2 are studied in this paper. Based on the model, in which the antiferromagnetism is treated with an Ising mean field theory and the rotational anisotropy is assumed to be related to the field created by the moment induced on the antiferromagnetic layer next to the ferromagnetic layer, we can explain why in experiments for ferromag- netism （FM）/antiferromagntism 1 （AFM1）/antiferromagnetism 2 （AFM2） systems the thickness-dependent rotational anisotropy value is non-monotonic, i.e. it reaches a minimum for this system at a specific thickness of the first anti- ferromagnetic layer and exhibits oscillatory behaviour. In addition, we find that the temperature-dependent rotational anisotropy value is in good agreement with the experimental result.The rotational anisotropies in the exchange bias structures of ferromagnetism/antiferromagnetism 1/antiferro- magnetism 2 are studied in this paper.
