Maximizing Exchange Bias in Co/CoO Core/Shell Nanoparticles by Lattice Matching between the Shell and the Embedding Matrix

Abstract: The exchange bias properties of 5 nm Co/CoO ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic core/shell nanoparticles, highly dispersed in a CuxO matrix, have been optimized by matching the lattice parameter of the matrix with that of the CoO shell. Exchange bias and coercivity fields as large as HE = 7780 Oe and HC = 6950 Oe are linked to the presence of a Cu2O matrix (0.3% lattice mismatch with respect to the shells). The small mismatch between Cu2O and CoO plays a dual role, (i) structurally stabilizing the CoO and (ii) fav… Show more

“…Moments tend to be more aligned in the magnetic field direction and vice-versa for higher temperature 52 , 53 .The magnetization versus applied field recorded at 60 K for both NF and FN as shown in Fig. 7 c,d perfectly exhibits an EB phenomenon with an expansion in the coercive field (H c ) and shifting of the hysteresis loop with a field magnitude referred to as the EB field (H eb ) 19 , 54 . Interestingly, the shifting of M-H loop is observed along the negative field 20 , 54 , 55 for inverted NF with an EB field H eb = − 329.43 Oe, while the M–H loop is shifted along the positive field 15 , 56 , 57 with H eb = + 126 Oe for FN system.…”

“…At the interface of CoO/permalloy, the coercivity is enhanced by CoO defects, and the exchange bias is 7.5 Oe . With a good lattice matching, the exchange bias effect is greatly enhanced in Co/CoO Core/shell nanoparticles . Not only is at the interface with an AFM phase the exchange bias effect observed, but it is observed at the interface of a spin‐glass and an FM phase .…”

“…In recent years, the synthesis of magnetic materials in the form of thin films and nanoparticles has been investigated for various applications due to their unique magnetic properties [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Magnetically soft films of Permalloy (Py) were the topic of special attention of researchers for many years, first of all, due to their wide use in micro- and nanoelectronics [ 4 , 5 ].…”
