Exchange bias and memory effect in Sr2FeCoO6
Abstract
We report on the observation of exchange bias and memory effect in double perovskite Sr2FeCoO6. Antiphase boundaries between the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic regions in the disordered glassy phase is assumed as responsible for the observed effect which reflects in the cooling field dependence and temperature evolution of exchange bias field and in training effect. The spin glass phase itself is characterized through memory, ageing and magnetic relaxation experiments. The spin glass transition temperature, Tg, versus Hdc2/3 follows the Almeida-Thouless line yielding a freezing temperature, Tf = 73 K. Time-dependent magnetic relaxation studies reveal the magnetization dynamics of the underlying glassy phase in this double perovskite.
