Tunable exchange bias effect in magnetic Bi$_{0.9}$Gd$_{0.1}$Fe$_{0.9}$Ti$_{0.1}$O$_3$ nanoparticles at temperatures up to 250 K

The exchange bias (EB) effect has been observed in magnetic Bi$_{0.9}$Gd$_{0.1}$Fe$_{0.9}$Ti$_{0.1}$O$_3$ nanoparticles. The influence of magnetic field cooling on the exchange bias effect has also been investigated. The magnitude of the exchange bias field ($H_{EB}$) increases with the cooling magnetic field, showing that the strength of the exchange bias effect is tunable by the field cooling. The $H_{EB}$ values are also found to be dependent on the temperature. This magnetically tunable exchange bias obtained at temperatures up to 250 K in Bi$_{0.9}$Gd$_{0.1}$Fe$_{0.9}$Ti$_{0.1}$O$_3$ nanoparticles may be worthwhile for potential applications.
