Abstract
Magnetic properties of sputter-deposited ferromagnetic (FM)/BiFeO3 (BFO) films on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrate (FM = Co and Fe) have been investigated. Isotropic perovskite BFO single phase is obtained for 200-nm-thick BFO films deposited at 300–450 °C and BFO films at 400 °C with thickness of 50–400 nm. Large exchange bias field (HEB) of 308–400 Oe and coercivity (Hc) of 1201–3632 Oe at RT are obtained for polycrystalline Co/BFO bilayers. The roughened surface induced by high deposition temperature and increasing thickness of BFO layer enhances localized shape anisotropy of FM layer, resulting in the increase of Hc the improved crystallinity and roughened surface of BFO/Co interface might be responsible for the HEB enhancement. Additionally, comparison on the HEB in polycrystalline Co/BFO and Fe/BFO systems is also discussed.
