Positive to negative zero-field cooled exchange bias in La0.5Sr0.5Mn0.8Co0.2O3 ceramics

Abstract: Exchange bias effect obtained after zero-field cooling from unmagnetized state usually exhibits a shift of hysteresis loop negative to the direction of the initial magnetic field, known as negative zero-field cooled exchange bias. Here, positive zero-field cooled exchange bias is reported in La0.5Sr0.5Mn0.8Co0.2O3 ceramics. In addition, a transition from positive to negative exchange bias has been observed with increasing initial magnetization field and measurement temperature. Based on a simple spin bidomain … Show more

“…Moreover, at RT, we observed a transition from negative to positive exchange bias with decreasing H max to record the respective hysteresis loops. A similar transition was observed in La 0.5 Sr 0.5 Mn 0.8 Co 0.2 O 3 ceramics at temperature much lower than RT [49]. We have also carried out the temperature dependent ZFC and FC magnetization measurements of undoped, Gd doped and Gd-Ti co-doped BFO bulk samples in the presence of 500 Oe applied magnetic field.…”

“…[20]. Previously, EB effect has been observed in various bulk materials, however, this effect in most cases was limited to far below RT (< 100 K) [47][48][49] making the systems less lucrative for applications. Therefore, the observation of EB in this co-doped BFO multiferroics up to RT, albeit small, is promising from the perspective of practical applications.…”

“…However, there are few examples where an asymmetry in M(H) loop has been observed toward positive field axis even after cooling in zero magnetic field, which is rather surprising and unconventional. [20,21,22] Since its discovery, EB effect has been studied extensively following its possible application in spintronics. Obviously, artificially fabricated superlattices offer an ideal system to study the EB effect not only because an individual layer of particular magnetic state can be chosen but also interface plays a crucial role here with its easy modified magnetic character.…”

“…In contrast, zero-field-cooled exchange bias (ZEB) is a unique finding of condensed matter physics, as it is observed in some magnetic materials without having any bias cooling field. Recently, this kind of EB effect is observed in some metallic alloys [9,10] and oxides [11][12][13]. Experimental observations suggest that the formation of SG phase, presence of FM clusters and field induced magnetic phase transition are the possible reasons for the observation of ZEB effect in this kind of material.…”
