  We investigated the temperature dependence of the magnetic damping in the
exchange biased Pt/ Fe50Mn50 /Fe20Ni80 /SiOx multilayers. In samples having a
strong exchange bias, we observed a drastic decrease of the magnetic damping of
the FeNi with increasing temperature up to the blocking temperature. The
results essentially indicate that the non-local enhancement of the magnetic
damping can be choked by the adjacent antiferromagnet and its temperature
dependent exchange bias. We also pointed out that such a strong temperature
dependent damping may be very beneficial for spintronic applications.
