20. Magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements on continuous films exhibit a much smaller asymmetry and larger exchange bias (see Fig. 5). We attribute these differences to a variation in the nucleation process near the edges of the Hall bar structure. The influence of patterning on perpendicular exchange bias will be discussed elsewhere
