The effect of cooling field HFC on the exchange bias field HEB in a spontaneous lamellar ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic phase separated Y0.2Ca0.8MnO3 has been studied. It is found that with increasing HFC from 1to6T the value of HEB decreases by 37% at 2K and is inversely proportional to the ferromagnetic layer thickness tFM. This suggests that the tuning of HEB by HFC in Y0.2Ca0.8MnO3 arises from the variation of tFM with HFC. This phenomenon is essentially different from other types of magnetic tunings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
