We report exchange bias in (Mn,Zn,Fe)(3)O-4 thin films that are compositionally homogeneous. We show that exchange bias in these Mn-Zn ferrite (MZFO) films can be tuned quite easily through annealing of the as -deposited films. The annealing process increases the crystallinity, as measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD). This improvement in crystallinity is accompanied by lower coercive fields, lower exchange bias fields, and higher saturation magnetizations. Exchange bias in these nominally homogeneous ferrite films is correlated with the degree of both structural and magnetic disorder. Based on the annealing experiments, we believe that these MZFO films may consist of crystalline regions that are separated from one another by disordered regions of the same nominal composition. The disordered regions serve to exchange bias the more structurally and magnetically ordered crystalline MZFO grains, leading to a shift of the magnetic hysteresis loop. Together these results indicate that the magnitude of the exchange bias can be controlled by tuning the degree of crystallinity in the system. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
