We study the low-temperature isothermal magnetic hysteresis of cubical and spherical nanoparticles with ferromagnetic-core/antiferromagnetic-shell morphology, in order to elucidate the sensitivity of the exchange bias effect to the shape of the particles and the structural imperfections at the core-shell interface. We model the magnetic structure using a classical Heisenberg Hamiltonian with uniaxial anisotropy and simulate the hysteresis loop using the metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm. For nanoparticles with geometrically sharp interfaces, we find that cubes exhibit a higher coercivity and lower exchange bias field than spheres of the same size. With increasing interface roughness, the shape dependence of the characteristic fields gradually decays, and eventually, the distinction between cubical and spherical particles is lost for moderately rough interfaces. The sensitivity of the exchange bias field to themicrostructural details of the interface is quantified by a scaling factor (b) relating the bias field to the net moment of the antiferromagnetic shell (H-eb = bM(AF) + H-o). Cubical particles exhibit a lower sensitivity to the dispersed values of the net interfacial moment.
