Abstract

Magnetization reversal and magnetic state regulation are the basis of application for magnetic materials in information processing. Here, twofold spin reorientation transitions (SRT) and field-induced multi-step spin switching phenomena were observed in NdMn0.2Fe0.8O3 (NMFO) single crystals grown via the optical floating zone method. Magnetic anisotropy was systematically investigated in both Zero-Field-Cooled (ZFC) and Field-Cooled (FC) modes. The NMFO single crystal exhibited twofold SRTs: from Γ4 (Gx, Ay, Fz) to Γ1 (Ax, Gy, Cz) and from Γ1 (Ax, Gy, Cz) to Γ2 (Fx, Cy, Gz). Furthermore, a magnetic field-induced spin reorientation transition was identified along the c-axis. Additionally, closer proximity to the SRT temperature corresponded to a reduced magnetic field requirement for inducing the spin reorientation transition. These findings contribute to our comprehension of spin dynamics in NMFO, presenting possibilities for future device applications.
