Spin Frustration Drives Exchange Bias Sign Crossover in CoFe2O4–Cr2O3 Nanocomposites

Abstract: A combined Raman spectroscopy and magnetometry study of CoFe 2 O 4 -Cr 2 O 3 nanocomposites demonstrates the presence of spin-phonon interactions and exchange bias at the interface between the ferrimagnetic CoFe 2 O 4 and the antiferromagnetic and magnetoelectric Cr 2 O 3 phases. The pinned layer of uncompensated spins at the surface of the chromium oxide nanocrystals provides a source of unidirectional anisotropy and changes the sign of the exchange bias when transitioning from a canted to a frustrated situat… Show more

“…The loops show positive EB fields of 0.18 and 1.1 mT at 323 and 232 K, respectively. The absence of perpendicular EB and the presence of in-plane EB indicate that the boundary magnetization in B-doped chromia tends to tilt away from the c -axis in agreement with recent findings in CoFe 2 O 4 –Cr 2 O 3 nanocomposites 28 . There is strong support for this interpretation from T -dependent spin-resolved inverse photoemission shown in Figs.…”

“…Despite the low price, low toxicity, good mechanical properties, and high magnetization saturation of cobalt ferrite [ 1,23 ] —CoFe 2 O 4 (≈60 emu g –1 ), its high coercivity (higher than ≈ 200 Oe) is an important restrictive factor in certain applications like electromagnetic shielding, magnetic filtering, actuators or security papers. [ 20,24 ] Fe 3 O 4 can be a solution for a successful magnetic impregnation process due to its biocompatibility, low toxicity in human body, and stable room‐temperature superparamagnetic response.…”
