Artificial multiferroic heterostructures have recently attracted much interests due to the demonstrated magnetoelectric coupling (MEC) and unique functionalities, promising a tantalizing perspective of novel applications in next-generation electronic, memory, sensor, and energy harvesting technologies. Herein, we report a two-step magnetization reversal in PbZr_0.52Ti_0.48O₃/La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃ (PZT/LSMO) superlattices, which originates from the strongly entangled strain-, ferroelectric (FE)-polarization-, and exchange-dependent effects. Specifically, the preferential occupancy of the in-plane Mn d_x²-y² orbitals is triggered via the collective effects of the large tensile strain and FE polarization, giving rise to an interfacial antiferromagnetic (AFM) layer with strong AFM anisotropy. The strong spin exchange coupling between the AFM layer and the adjacent ferromagnetic (FM) layer facilitates the magnetic stratification of the FM layer, leading to two coercivities, i.e., two-step magnetization reversal. Meanwhile, a sizeable exchange bias (EB) field is induced. The emerged two-step magnetization reversal concomitant with the pronounced EB phenomenon should be a signature of an enhanced MEC in PZT/LSMO superlattices. Finally, our results will stimulate further interests in multiferroic superlattices in applications of multiferroic-based devices.
