Exchange bias in ferromagnetic bilayers with orthogonal anisotropies: the case of GaMnAsP/GaMnAs combination.

ABSTRACT: We report the observation of exchange bias in a ferromagnetic Ga_0.94Mn_0.06As_0.77P_0.23/ Ga_0.94Mn_0.06As bilayer, in which the easy axis in one layer is oriented out-of-plane, and in the other in-plane. Magnetization reversal in this system is explored using planar Hall effect (PHE) measurements under various initial conditions and with various field-cooling orientations. Our results show that the two magnetic layers are ferromagnetically exchange-coupled, and that such coupling results in pronounced exchange-bias-like shifts of magnetic hysteresis loops during reversal of in-plane magnetization. The presence of exchange bias in this system can be understood on the basis of magnetic closure domains formed in the layer with the out-of-plane easy axis.

Ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic coexisting ground state and exchange bias effects in MnBi4Te7 and MnBi6Te10.

Project description:Natural superlattice structures MnBi2Te4(Bi2Te3)n (n = 1, 2, ...), in which magnetic MnBi2Te4 layers are separated by nonmagnetic Bi2Te3 layers, hold band topology, magnetism and reduced interlayer coupling, providing a promising platform for the realization of exotic topological quantum states. However, their magnetism in the two-dimensional limit, which is crucial for further exploration of quantum phenomena, remains elusive. Here, complex ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic coexisting ground states that persist down to the 2-septuple layers limit are observed and comprehensively investigated in MnBi4Te7 (n = 1) and MnBi6Te10 (n = 2). The ubiquitous Mn-Bi site mixing modifies or even changes the sign of the subtle interlayer magnetic interactions, yielding a spatially inhomogeneous interlayer coupling. Further, a tunable exchange bias effect, arising from the coupling between the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic components in the ground state, is observed in MnBi2Te4(Bi2Te3)n (n = 1, 2), which provides design principles and material platforms for future spintronic devices. Our work highlights a new approach toward the fine-tuning of magnetism and paves the way for further study of quantum phenomena in MnBi2Te4(Bi2Te3)n (n = 1, 2) as well as their magnetic applications.

Cooling field and temperature dependent exchange bias in spin glass/ferromagnet bilayers.

Project description:We report on the experimental and theoretical studies of cooling field (HFC) and temperature (T) dependent exchange bias (EB) in FexAu1-x/Fe19Ni81 spin glass (SG)/ferromagnet (FM) bilayers. When x varies from 8% to 14% in the FexAu1-x SG alloys, with increasing T, a sign-changeable exchange bias field (HE) together with a unimodal distribution of coercivity (HC) are observed. Significantly, increasing in the magnitude of HFC reduces (increases) the value of HE in the negative (positive) region, resulting in the entire HE∼T curve to move leftwards and upwards. In the meanwhile, HFC variation has weak effects on HC. By Monte Carlo simulation using a SG/FM vector model, we are able to reproduce such HE dependences on T and HFC for the SG/FM system. Thus this work reveals that the SG/FM bilayer system containing intimately coupled interface, instead of a single SG layer, is responsible for the novel EB properties.

Positive exchange-bias and giant vertical hysteretic shift in La0.3Sr0.7FeO3/SrRuO3 bilayers.

Project description:The exchange-bias effects in the mosaic epitaxial bilayers of the itinerant ferromagnet (FM) SrRuO3 and the antiferromagnetic (AFM) charge-ordered La(0.3)Sr(0.7)FeO3 were investigated. An uncharacteristic low-field positive exchange bias, a cooling-field driven reversal of positive to negative exchange-bias and a layer thickness optimised unusual vertical magnetization shift were all novel facets of exchange bias realized for the first time in magnetic oxides. The successive magnetic training induces a transition from positive to negative exchange bias regime with changes in domain configurations. These observations are well corroborated by the hysteretic loop asymmetries which display the modifications in the AFM spin correlations. These exotic features emphasize the key role of i) mosaic disorder induced subtle interplay of competing AFM-superexchange and FM double exchange at the exchange biased interface and, ii) training induced irrecoverable alterations in the AFM spin structure.

Ferromagnetic excess moments and apparent exchange bias in FeF2 single crystals.

Project description:The anisotropic antiferromagnet FeF2 has been extensively used as an antiferromagnetic layer to induce exchange bias effects in ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic bilayers and heterostructures. In this work, an apparent exchange bias occurring in the low temperature hysteresis loops of FeF2 single crystals is investigated. A detailed investigation of the hysteresis and remnant magnetization indicates that the observation of an apparent exchange bias in FeF2 stems from an intrinsic excess moment associated with a distortion of the antiferromagnetic structure of piezomagnetic origin.

Large exchange bias enhancement and control of ferromagnetic energy landscape by solid-state hydrogen gating.

Project description:Voltage control of exchange bias is desirable for spintronic device applications, however dynamic modulation of the unidirectional coupling energy in ferromagnet/antiferromagnet bilayers has not yet been achieved. Here we show that by solid-state hydrogen gating, perpendicular exchange bias can be enhanced by > 100% in a reversible and analog manner, in a simple Co/Co0.8Ni0.2O heterostructure at room temperature. We show that this phenomenon is an isothermal analog to conventional field-cooling and that sizable changes in average coupling energy can result from small changes in AFM grain rotatability. Using this method, we show that a bi-directionally stable ferromagnet can be made unidirectionally stable, with gate voltage alone. This work provides a means to dynamically reprogram exchange bias, with broad applicability in spintronics and neuromorphic computing, while simultaneously illuminating fundamental aspects of exchange bias in polycrystalline films.

Enhanced exchange bias and improved ferromagnetic properties in Permalloy-BiFe0.95Co0.05O3 core-shell nanostructures.

Project description:Hybrid core-shell nanostructures consisting of permalloy (Ni80Fe20) and multiferroic(BiFeO3, BFO/BiFe0.95Co0.05O3, BFC) materials were synthesized by a two-step method, based on wet chemical impregnation and subsequent electrodeposition within porous alumina membranes. Structural and magnetic characterizations have been done to investigate doping effect on magnetic properties and exchange bias. The magnetometry analysis revealed significant enhancements of the exchange bias and coercivity in NiFe-BFC core-shell nanostructures as compared with NiFe-BFO core-shell nanostructures. The enhancements can be attributed to the effective reduction of ferromagnet domain sizes between adjacent layers of core-shell structure. It indicates that it is possible to improve properties of multiferroic composites by site-engineering method. Our approach opens a pathway to obtain optimized nanostructured multiferroic composites exhibiting tunable magnetic properties.

Valley-polarized domain wall magnons in 2D ferromagnetic bilayers.

Project description:Valleytronics is a pioneering technological field relying on the valley degree of freedom to achieve novel electronic functionalities. Topological valley-polarized electrons confined to domain walls in bilayer graphene were extensively studied in view of their potentials in valleytronics. Here, we study the magnonic version of domain wall excitations in 2D honeycomb ferromagnetic bilayers (FBL) with collinear order. In particular, we explore the implications of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) and electrostatic doping (ED) on the existence and characteristics of 1D magnons confined to layer stacking domain walls in FBL. The coexistence of DMI and ED is found to enrich the topology in FBL, yet the corresponding domain wall magnons do not carry a well-defined valley index. On the other hand, we show that layer stacking domain walls in DMI-free FBL constitute 1D channels for ballistic transport of topological valley-polarized magnons. Our theoretical results raise hope towards magnon valleytronic devices based on atomically thin topological magnetic materials.

Zero-bias photocurrent in ferromagnetic topological insulator.

Project description:Magnetic interactions in topological insulators cause essential modifications in the originally mass-less surface states. They offer a mass gap at the Dirac point and/or largely deform the energy dispersion, providing a new path towards exotic physics and applications to realize dissipation-less electronics. The nonequilibrium electron dynamics at these modified Dirac states unveil additional functions, such as highly efficient photon to spin-current conversion. Here we demonstrate the generation of large zero-bias photocurrent in magnetic topological insulator thin films on mid-infrared photoexcitation, pointing to the controllable band asymmetry in the momentum space. The photocurrent spectra with a maximal response to the intra-Dirac-band excitations can be a sensitive measure for the correlation between Dirac electrons and magnetic moments.

Optimization of spin Hall magnetoresistance in heavy-metal/ferromagnetic-metal bilayers.

Project description:We present experimental data and their theoretical description on spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) in bilayers consisting of a heavy metal (H) coupled to in-plane magnetized ferromagnetic metal (F), and determine contributions to the magnetoresistance due to SMR and anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in five different bilayer systems: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], W/Co, and Co/Pt. The devices used for experiments have different interfacial properties due to either amorphous or crystalline structures of constitutent layers. To determine magnetoresistance contributions and to allow for optimization, the AMR is explicitly included in the diffusion transport equations in the ferromagnets. The results allow determination of different contributions to the magnetoresistance, which can play an important role in optimizing prospective magnetic stray field sensors. They also may be useful in the determination of spin transport properties of metallic magnetic heterostructures in other experiments based on magnetoresistance measurements.

Micromagnetic simulation of exchange coupled ferri-/ferromagnetic heterostructures.

Project description:Exchange coupled ferri-/ferromagnetic heterostructures are a possible material composition for future magnetic storage and sensor applications. In order to understand the driving mechanisms in the demagnetization process, we perform micromagnetic simulations by employing the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. The magnetization reversal is dominated by pinning events within the amorphous ferrimagnetic layer and at the interface between the ferrimagnetic and the ferromagnetic layer. The shape of the computed magnetization reversal loop corresponds well with experimental data, if a spatial variation of the exchange coupling across the ferri-/ferromagnetic interface is assumed.
