Asymmetric magnetoresistance in 3d-5d based La0.67Ca0.33MnO3/SrIrO3 bilayer: The role of unidirectional anisotropy
Abstract
The complex interplay between spin-orbit coupling, magnetism, and magnetic field at the interface of a heterostructure consisting of ferromagnet (FM) and heavy metal (HM), often exhibit extraordinary magnetic and electric phenomena where an in-plane Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction plays a crucial role to stabilize local spin texture in FM layer. Here, we report detailed magnetic and magneto-transport behaviour on an epitaxially grown thin heterostructure with 3d FM La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMO) and 5d HM SrIrO3 (SIO). Magnetic measurements show an unusual development of magnetic ordering in SrIrO3 around 42 K, which further leads to a Mn/Ir magnetic coupling at the interface. The magnetoresistance (MR) measurements show an evolution of its value and shape with the magnetic state of this bilayer. While MR is negative at high temperature, it shows a positive to negative crossover with stable magnetic ordering of LCMO, and finally the positive MR exhibits an asymmetry at low temperature with the ordering of SIO. While we ascribe this unusual MR behaviour to interface-driven varying spin scattering between itinerant and localized electrons, our results shed a light to comprehend the complex but tunable interface behavior on charge transport in a particularly designed heterostructure, offering valuable insights for future functional material engineering.
