In this study, an exchange bias effect with a large vertical shift in the field-cooled hysteresis loop was observed in the spin ladder system BaFe2Se3 below 50 K. The existence of uncompensated spins was evidenced by susceptibility, magnetic remanence, and hysteresis loop measurements. A nanometer-sized layered structure was also observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) coupled with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS).
The spin ladder system BaFe2Se3 presents puzzling magnetic behaviors, such as a spin-glass-like phase below similar to 50 K. In this paper, an exchange bias effect with a large vertical shift in the field-cooled hysteresis loop is observed below 50 K. We also evidence the existence of uncompensated spins by susceptibility, magnetic remanence, and hysteresis loop measurements. The thermoremanent and isothermoremanent magnetization curves evidence a two-dimensional diluted antiferromagnet (DAFF) nature. Moreover, a nanometer-sized layered structure is observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) coupled with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). The discovery of exchange bias in antiferromagnetic BaFe2Se3 crystals adds a new dimension to the research of its superconducting and multiferroic properties.
