Resum:	The temperature dependence of the magnetic properties of [Pt/Co]multilayers (ML), exhibiting perpendicular anisotropy, with and without exchange biasing with an antiferromagnet(AFM) has been investigated. Upon heating, a loss of the out-of-plane anisotropy and, consequently, of the remanence to saturation ratio is observed in these systems. However, such effect occurs at higher temperatures in the [Pt/Co] ML exchange coupled to the AFM than for the unbiased ML. This is attributed to the additional anisotropy induced to the ML by the ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic exchange coupling.
