Popis: Abstract The realization and control of exchange bias (EB) are highly desirable for spintronic applications. All-oxide heterostructures comprised of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic/multiferroic oxides provide an ideal platform to enable the electric-field control of EB, promising for energy-efficient memory and logic devices. However, the low block temperature (TB) and small bias field (HEB) hinder further advances towards room-temperature applications. Here, we report an alternative approach to enhance the interface-induced EB by using ferrimagnetic double-perovskite with B-site cation ordering. In heterostructures comprised of double-perovskite Sr2FeReO6 (SFRO) and LaFeO3 (LFO), a high TB (about 250 K) and large HEB are observed, which is significantly larger than the counterparts with LFO and ferromagnetic oxides. Further analysis suggests that the cation-ordering and ferrimagnetic spin structure of the double-perovskite could contribute significantly to the enhanced exchanged bias when interfacing with G-type antiferromagnets. Our results open a new avenue for developing all-oxides heterostructures for future magnetic technologies.
