Angular dependence of the exchange coupling in a NiFe/CoO bilayer film has been measured. Different angular and symmetry have observed for field ${H}_{E}$ coercivity ${H}_{C}.$ The values ${H}_{C}$ are due to unidirectional uniaxial components magnetic anisotropy energy, which odd even terms lead ${H}_{C},$ respectively. proposed free energy accounts experimental results.
