Abstract

The sign reversal of magnetization is observed in LaCr0.85Mn0.15O3 compound and the maximum magnetic compensation temperature (Tcomp) was at around 100 K. We have also observed negative and positive values of exchange bias field (HEB) having sign reversal at around Tcomp. The value of HEB could be tuned from −2.1 kOe to + 2.6 kOe with change in temperature. The competition between the magnetic moment due to the canted ferromagnetic component of Cr3+ ions and the paramagnetic component of doped Mn3+ ions under the negative internal field gives rise to magnetization reversal. The origin of sign reversal of HEB is discussed in detail.
