It causes a preferential direction of magnetization in the ferromagnet, which manifests as a shift of the hysteresis loop along the magnetic field axis. Here, we demonstrate a large EB of over 1000 Oe at 20 K in a twinned Co(111)/Co3O4(111) thin film epitaxially grown on sapphire(0001) with sixfold rotational lattice symmetry, which is among the highest values reported for Co/Co1−yO systems. In such systems, the effect intensity is largest along the magnetic easy axes, which usually results in an anisotropy of the EB in epitaxial interfaces. However, we observed identical EB values for 0°, 15°, and 30° angles between the magnetic field and the nearest Co[002] magnetic easy axes. The measurements imply a relaxation of the magnetization to the nearest easy axis, suggesting increasingly isotropic EB fields with higher orders of rotational lattice symmetry.\r\n                ","lang":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","publication_status":"published","user_id":"220548","publication":"APL Materials","title":"Isotropic exchange-bias in twinned epitaxial Co/Co3O4 bilayer","status":"public","_id":"4178","issue":"12","oa":"1","quality_controlled":"1","keyword":["Magnetic ordering","Crystallographic defects","Electron diffraction","Epitaxy","Ferromagnetic materials","Magnetic hysteresis","Magnetic materials","Thin films","Transmission electron microscopy","Solid solid interfaces"],"doi":"10.1063/5.0183566","type":"journal_article","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1"}],"intvolume":"        11","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2024-01-29T16:36:10Z","funded_apc":"1","year":"2023","file_date_updated":"2023-12-29T07:53:14Z","file":[{"file_name":"_2023_Wortmann_APL-Mater1_121118.pdf","file_size":9441825,"file_id":"4179","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"main_file","success":1,"creator":"aehrmann","date_updated":"2023-12-29T07:53:14Z","date_created":"2023-12-29T07:53:14Z"}],"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"citation":{"ieee":"M.
