Abstract

The exchange bias in a soft ferromagnetic NiFe layer coupled with a hard ferrimagnetic Fe3O4 film grown on a (110) SrTiO3 single-crystal substrate was investigated as a function of the switching magnetic field (HS) as a means to control the magnetization direction of the Fe3O4. The sign of the exchange bias was consistent with the sign of HS, indicating that the exchange coupling constant between the NiFe and (110) Fe3O4 layers was positive. Below |HS| = 1 kOe, the hysteresis behavior of the exchange bias of the soft ferromagnetic NiFe resembled the magnetic hysteresis behavior of the hard ferrimagnetic Fe3O4.
