The magnetic domain evolution behaviors of ferromagnetic (FM) monolayer and ferromagnetic (FM)/antiferromagnetic (AFM) bilayer are compared and analyzed. The results indicate that the equivalent width, mass and velocity of magnetic domain wall are changed, then the coercivity is enhanced and the exchange bias is present due to the exchange coupling between anti- ferromagnetic and ferromagnetic layer. The results also show that the equivalent width, mass and velocity of magnetic domain wall for FM /AFM bilayers system could be varied with the change of the net magnetization of antiferromagnetic layer, the magnetic anisotropy constants of FM and AFM layer, the exchange coupling constant of antiferromagnetic layer, interface exchange coupling constant and the temperature, and the relevant influences on the coercivity and exchange bias are discussed. So, the physical mechanisms of the emergence of exchange bias and enhancement of coercivity are discovered by the formation and evolution of the domain wall.
