Exchange Bias Effects In Epitaxial Fe3o4/Bifeo3 Heterostructures
APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS(2012)
Abstract
High quality Fe3O4 (5-20 nm)/BiFeO3 (BFO) heterostructures have been grown by pulsed laser deposition on (001) SrTiO3 (STO) substrates. Large exchange bias (EB) effects have been observed below 200K in Fe3O4/BFO/STO structures compared with Fe3O4/STO structures. The exchange bias field decreases when increasing temperature or the thickness of Fe3O4 layer, and does not change after annealing in 0.1 T field from 700K to room temperature across Neel temperature of BFO. A possible mechanism was proposed based on the interface spin coupling between Fe3O4 and BFO. Our work shed new light on the study of exchange bias effect in BFO system as well as the application for magnetoelectric devices. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
