Room-Temperature Exchange-Coupled Nanometer-Thick ZnFe2O4 and SrFe12O19 Bilayers: Implications for Spintronics and Exchange-Spring Magnets

Exchange-spring ZnFe2O4/SrFe12O19 (ZNF/SFO) bilayers were investigated to explore interfacial exchange coupling and dynamic magnetic response by varying the nanometer-scale thickness of the top ZNF layer. Room-temperature M–H loops exhibit two-step reversal (HCsoft 65 Oe and HChard 5.6 kOe) and magn...
