Coexistence of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic orders at remanent state in epitaxial multiferroic Bi2FeCrO6 nanostructures.

چکیده
We report the local electronic and magnetic properties of Bi(2)FeCrO(6) nanostructures by element-specific polarized x-ray techniques. Sizable magnetic ordering in the remanent state is observed at room temperature for both Fe and Cr ions. The Bi(2)FeCrO(6) system offers an example of d(5)-d(3) magnetic superexchange interaction with a magnetic order for both Fe and Cr, which are both formally in the + 3 valence state. The results suggest a coexistence of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic superexchange interaction between Fe and Cr spins in the nanostructures at the remanent state and at room temperature.

Spin-orbit Coupling Effects in Multiferroic Bi2FeCrO6
For application in integrated sensors or devices, functional materials are used in the form of thin films. Ferroelectricity and many other properties of multiferroic materials, such as the magnetocrystalline anisotropy, are strongly related to the material crystal structure. Because fundamental physics of multiferroic materials is rich, theoretical studies are of great importance, since it is e...
متن کاملElectric-field control of exchange bias in multiferroic epitaxial heterostructures.
The magnetic exchange between epitaxial thin films of the multiferroic (antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric) hexagonal YMnO3 oxide and a soft ferromagnetic (FM) layer is used to couple the magnetic response of the FM layer to the magnetic state of the antiferromagnetic one. We will show that biasing the ferroelectric YMnO3 layer by an electric field allows control of the magnetic exchange bias ...
متن کاملGiant reversible anisotropy changes at room temperature in a (La,Sr)MnO3/Pb(Mg,Nb,Ti)O3 magneto-electric heterostructure
In a model artificial multiferroic system consisting of a (011)-oriented ferroelectric Pb(Mg,Nb,Ti)O3 substrate intimately coupled to an epitaxial ferromagnetic (La,Sr)MnO3 film, electric field pulse sequences of less than 6 kV/cm induce large, reversible, and bistable remanent strains. The magnetic anisotropy symmetry reversibly switches from a highly anisotropic two-fold state to a more isotr...
متن کاملMultiferroic nanoscale Bi2FeCrO6 material for spintronic-related applications.
We report the control of the growth mode of Bi(2)FeCrO(6) thin and ultrathin films by either tuning the pulsed laser deposition parameters or by using a buffer layer. The films are epitaxial and the heterostructures exhibit very smooth interfaces, thus eliminating the main obstacle in the realization of tunnel junctions. By characterizing the functional properties of thin films we find that Bi(...
