“…There are also exchange bias systems that show a temperature dependent transition from negative to positive exchange bias values [25]. In the pioneering works by Meiklejohn and Bean [2], a certain oxide thickness is claimed to be necessary to produce the shift in the hysteresis loop which has also been supported by subsequent studies for thin films and nanoparticles [8,11,18,19,23,24,26]. Besides, the type of the magnetic interactions at the FM/AFM interface is complicated, and either FM or AFM couplings have been considered in theoretical invest igations [10,14,24].…”
