Abstract
Exchange fields accompanying vertical magnetization shifts were observed in the epitaxial ZnCo0.07O (dilute magnetic semiconductor)/NiO system after field cooling. Transitions of exchange fields and magnetization shifts were observed at 50K, above which the magnetization shift disappeared and the exchange field was significantly reduced. Both the exchange field and the magnetization shift increased with increasing cooling-field strength at temperatures below 50K, which might be attributed to the existence of “frozen” spins in ZnCoO. The observed linear dependence of the exchange field on the magnetization shift may directly elucidate the role of pinned spins on the exchange fields.
