The structure and magnetic properties of Heusler ferromagnet/ antiferromagnet (FM/AFM) bilayers were investigated. Structural characterization revealed that Fe₂CrSi/Ru₂MnGe bilayers were epitaxially grown with an L2₁ ordered structure when the Ru₂MnGe growth temperature was 573 K. The magnetization curve indicates that exchange bias occurs in the Fe₂CrSi/Ru₂MnGe bilayers at 77 K. The appearance of an exchange-anisotropy field H_ex depends on the growth of Ru₂MnGe layer, indicating that the exchange bias originates from the epitaxial Fe₂CrSi/Ru₂MnGe interface. The exchange anisotropy energy J_k of the Fe₂CrSi/Ru₂MnGe and Co₂MnGe/Ru₂MnGe bilayer systems appears to follow a Heisenberg-like exchange coupling model. This suggests that the Cr and Mn interface atoms in the FM layers play significant roles in exchange coupling in the Fe₂CrSi/Ru₂MnGe and Co₂MnGe/Ru ₂MnGe bilayer systems, respectively.
