Abstract

The origin of the concomitant memory effect is still a controversial issue and poor evidence in the observation of nanocrystal systems. We report on a type of concomitant memory effect driven by first-field-induced unidirectional magnetic anisotropy at the interface of ferromagnetic CrO2-core and antiferromagnetic Cr2O3-shell nanorods, with the effect becoming less significant in pure CrO2 nanorods. To corroborate the results, a core–shell anisotropic energy model was used to determine the coherent rotation of magnetization and exchange coupling constant, giving direct access to the anisotropic interfacial properties of the core–shell nanoscale system without spatially resolved magnetic measurement. The outcome of this study will be useful for the future development of thermal memory devices.
