The exchange bias effects of BiFeO3 and lanthanum-doped BiFeO3 nanopowders were investigated, revealing a higher EB value for the doped sample possibly due to a combination of different models. Various magnetic experiments were conducted to study the thermoremanent and shell properties of the samples, indicating the presence of different shell structures.
The exchange bias (EB) effects of BiFeO3 (BFO) and Bi0.9La0.1FeO3 nanopowders are investigated. An EB field of 152 Oe and 902 Oe at 60 K are observed for BFO and Bi0.9La0.1FeO3, respectively, when cooled in 20 kOe magnetic field. The enhancement of EB values in the case of Bi0.9La0.1FeO3 is explained based on the combination of Malozemoff's and domain state models. Training effect measurements data fitted with Binek's model suggested that the origin of EB lies in the interaction between the antiferromagnetic (AFM) core and the soft magnetic shell. Memory effect measurements, thermoremanent and isoremanent magnetization studies, and time decay of thermoremanent magnetization studies are done to understand the nature of the shell of both the samples. Time decay of thermoremanent magnetization of BFO is fitted with a stretched exponential based on Kohlrausch-Williams-Watt model, the obtained shape parameter value lies in the range of Heisenberg type spin-glasses. From thermoremanent and isoremanent magnetization plots, a 2D-diluted AFM shell is observed for Bi0.9La0.1FeO3. The field cooling and the temperature dependence of EB are investigated and the results are explained based on the available models of EB.
