Title: Field-dependent magnetization of BiFeO₃ in ultrathin La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃/BiFeO₃ superlattice

Abstract

Here, we report the observation of field-dependent magnetization of BiFeO₃ (BFO) in an ultrathin BFO/La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ (LSMO) superlattice using polarized neutron reflectivity (PNR). Our PNR results indicate parallel alignment of magnetization across BFO/LSMO interfaces. The study showed an increase in average magnetization of the BFO layer on increasing applied magnetic field at 10 K, similar to the ferromagnetic nature of LSMO. We obtained a saturation magnetization of 110 ± 15kA/m(~0.8μ_B/Fe) for an ultrathin BFO layer (~2 unit cells) sandwiched between ultrathin LSMO layers (~2 unit cells), which is much higher than the canted moment (0.03μ_B/Fe) in the bulk BFO.

Ferromagnetic–Antiferromagnetic Coupling by Distortion of Fe/Mn Oxygen Octahedrons in (BiFeO ₃ ) _m (La _0.7 Sr _0.3 MnO ₃ ) _n Superlattices

Journal Article Xiong, Jie ; Lei, Tianyu ; Chu, Junwei ; ... - Small

Interface enhanced magnetism attracts much attention due to its potential use in exploring novel structure devices. Nevertheless, the magnetic behavior at interfaces has not been quantitatively determined. In this study, abnormal magnetic moment reduction is observed in La _0.7 Sr _0.3 MnO ₃ (LSMO)/BiFeO ₃ (BFO) superlattices, which is induced by ferromagnetic (FM)/antiferromagnetic (AFM) coupling in the interface. With reduced repetition of the superlattice's unit cell [(LSMO) _n /(BFO) _n ] _60/ _n ( n = 1, 2, 5, 10) on a SrTiO ₃ substrate, magnetic moment reduction from 25.5 emu cc ⁻¹ ([(LSMO) ₁₀ /(BFO) ₁₀ ] ₆ )more »« less

Interfacial magnetic coupling in ultrathin all-manganite La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3}-TbMnO{sub 3} superlattices

Journal Article Tian, Y. F. ; Hu, S. J. ; Yan, S. S. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We report the growth and magnetic properties of all-manganite superlattices composed of ultrathin double-exchange ferromagnetic La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} and noncollinear multiferroic TbMnO{sub 3} layers. Spontaneous magnetization and hysteresis loops are observed in such superlattices with individual La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} layers as thin as two unit cells, which are accompanied by pronounced exchange bias and enhanced coercivity. Our results indicate substantial interfacial magnetic coupling between spin sublattices in such superlattices, providing a powerful approach towards tailoring the properties of artificial magnetic heterostructures.

Influence of chemical composition and crystallographic orientation on the interfacial magnetism in $BiFe O_{3}$ / $L a_{1 - x} S r_{x} Mn O_{3}$ superlattices

Journal Article Guo, Er-Jia ; Roldan, Manuel A. ; Sang, Xiahan ; ... - Physical Review Materials

The emergence of magnetism unique to the interface between the multiferroic BiFeO₃ (BFO) and ferromagnetic La_1-xSr_xMnO₃ (LSMO) offers an opportunity to control magnetism in nanoscale heterostructures with electric fields. Here, we investigate the influence of chemical composition and crystallographic orientation on the interfacial magnetism of BFO/LSMO superlattices. Our results reveal that the induced net magnetic moment in the BFO layers increases monotonically with increasing saturation magnetization of the LSMO layers. For the (100)-BFO/LSMO (x=0.2) superlattice, the induced moment reaches a record high value of ~2.8μ_B/Fe. No interfacial magnetization is observed at the (100)-BFO/LSMO interface when LSMO is an antiferromagnet. Inmore »« less

Magnetotransport of La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3}/SrTiO{sub 3} multilayers with ultrathin manganite layers

Journal Article Dorr, K ; Walter, T ; Sahana, M ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The thickness dependence of electrical transport and magnetization of ultrathin La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} films has been investigated using epitaxial La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3}(LSMO)/SrTiO{sub 3} multilayers prepared by pulsed laser deposition. Layer thicknesses range from 1.9 to 10 nm for both constituents. Microstructural characterization by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy has confirmed a well-defined superlattice structure, coherent growth, and fairly smooth interfaces of the samples. Magnetization measurements show a pronounced drop of the ferromagnetic Curie temperature below a LSMO thickness of d=3nm, accompanied by a strong rise of the coercive field.
