Exchange bias in phase-segregated Nd2/3Ca1/3MnO3 as a function of temperature and cooling magnetic fields

TLDR
In this paper, the exchange bias effect decreases with increasing temperature up to TC and vanishes above this temperature with disappearance of the antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic (FM) spontaneous phase segregated state of this compound.
Abstract
Exchange bias (EB) phenomena have been observed in Nd2/3Ca1/3MnO3 colossal magnetoresistance perovskite below the Curie temperature TC ∼ 70 K and attributed to an antiferromagnetic–ferromagnetic (FM) spontaneous phase segregated state of this compound. Field cooled magnetic hysteresis loops exhibit shifts toward negative direction of the magnetic field axis. The values of exchange field HEB and coercivity HC are found to be strongly dependent of temperature and strength of the cooling magnetic field Hcool. These effects are attributed to evolution of the FM phase content and a size of FM clusters. A contribution to the total magnetization of the system due to the FM phase has been evaluated. The exchange bias effect decreases with increasing temperature up to TC and vanishes above this temperature with disappearance of FM phase. Relaxation of a non-equilibrium magnetic state of the compound manifests itself through a training effect also observed while studying EB in Nd2/3Ca1/3MnO3.

Colossal Magnetoresistant Materials: The Key Role of Phase Separation

TL;DR: In this paper, a large variety of experiments reviewed in detail here contain results compatible with the theoretical predictions, including phase diagrams of manganite models, the stabilization of the charge/orbital/spin ordered half-doped correlated electronics (CE)-states, the importance of the naively small Heisenberg coupling among localized spins, the setup of accurate mean-field approximations, and the existence of a new temperature scale T∗ where clusters start forming above the Curie temperature, the presence of stripes in the system, and many others.
