The modification of crystalline structure by epitaxial growth on different single crystals induces crucial effects on the exchange bias coupling. Due to the larger lattice constant (a0) of Cu3Au(100) (a0=3.75A), the vertical lattice constants of Fe∕FexMn1−x films on Cu3Au(100) are much smaller than those of the Fe∕FexMn1−x∕Cu(100) system (Cu: a0=3.61A). By reducing the vertical lattice constants, the interface exchange bias coupling energy of Fe∕FexMn1−x∕Cu3Au(100) is enhanced to be 0.12–0.18erg∕cm2, which is approximately four times that of the Cu(100) system.
