The exchange bias effect is pivotal in semiconductor
technology,
particularly for magnetic recording and spin valve devices. However,
conventional materials that rely on interfaces present manufacturing
challenges. This study focuses on the exchange bias effect in bulk
materials without interfaces. A novel magnetic material, Cd2FeOsO6, was synthesized, exhibiting a strong exchange
bias effect at low-cooling magnetic fields. This study offers insights
into materials with pronounced exchange bias and a unique mechanism.
Cd2FeOsO6 demonstrates ferrimagnetic ordering
and hard magnetism below 285 K. Notably, a substantial 10 kOe exchange
bias arises with a weak 80 Oe magnetic field. This effect is likely
due to partial ordering and strong spin–orbit coupling of the
ligand of Os. These findings highlight the potential of double perovskite
materials for notable exchange bias effects at room temperature with
modest cooling fields. Leveraging 5d element properties advances bulk
materials with enhanced exchange bias traits.
