Exchange-bias effects in Co/YMnO₃ bilayer: Magnetization and magneto-transport measurements — •J. Barzola-Quiquia, A. Lessig, C. Zandalazini, G. Bridoux, and P. Esquinazi — Division of Superconductivity and Magnetism, University of Leipzig, D-04103 Leipzig, Germany

The exchange bias effects in a bilayer composed by the antiferromagnetic o-YMnO₃ and ferromagnetic Co thin films have been investigated through SQUID magnetometry and magneto-transport measurements. Magnetization hysteresis loops and magneto-transport properties show pronounced asymmetries in the field and magnetization axis. Both exchange bias parameters, the exchange bias field H_E(T) and the magnetization shift M_E(T), vanish around the Néel temperature T_N ≃ 45 K. The magnetization shift is also measured by a shift in the longitudinal and Hall resistances showing a similar temperature dependence as the one obtained from magnetization measurements. Because the o-YMnO₃ film is highly insulating, our results demonstrate that the M_E shift is related to the pinned moments within the ferromagnetic Co layer at the interface.
