Abstract
Abstract To reveal the mechanism of interfacial exchange coupling, the magnetic hysteresis (M-H) loop of Co/BiFeO3 bilayers deposited on (001) LaAlO3 (LAO) substrates by magnetron sputtering was measured. The M-H loop displays a horizontal shift along the field axis coexisting with a vertical shift along the magnetization axis. The frozen uncompensated interfacial spins result in the EB effect, as demonstrated by the similar dependencies between EB and the vertical shift in temperature and BFO thickness. In addition, the M-H loop also shows an enhancement in magnetization, which is considered to result from the induced net moments at the interface.
期刊介绍:
Ferroelectrics Letters is a separately published section of the international journal Ferroelectrics. Both sections publish theoretical, experimental and applied papers on ferroelectrics and related materials, including ferroelastics, ferroelectric ferromagnetics, electrooptics, piezoelectrics, pyroelectrics, nonlinear dielectrics, polymers and liquid crystals.
Ferroelectrics Letters permits the rapid publication of important, quality, short original papers on the theory, synthesis, properties and applications of ferroelectrics and related materials.
