The anisotropic antiferromagnet FeF<sub>2</sub> has been extensively used as an antiferromagnetic layer to induce exchange bias effects in ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic bilayers and heterostructures. In this work, an apparent exchange bias occurring in the low temperature hysteresis loops of FeF<sub>2</sub> single crystals is investigated. A detailed investigation of the hysteresis and remnant magnetization indicates that the observation of an apparent exchange bias in FeF<sub>2</sub> stems fr ...[more]
