Exchange-biased $\mathrm{Ni}โˆ•{\mathrm{FeF}}_{2}$ films have been investigated using vector coil vibrating-sample magnetometry as a function of the cooling field strength ${H}_{FC}$. In films with epitaxial ${\mathrm{FeF}}_{2}$, a loop bifurcation develops with increasing ${H}_{FC}$ as it divides into two sub-loops shifted oppositely from zero field by the same amount. The positively biased โ€ฆ
