Description:
We investigate the structural, chemical, and magnetic properties on BiFe 0.5 Cr 0.5 O 3 (BFCO) thin films grown on (001) (110) and (111) oriented SrTiO 3 (STO) substrates by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and x-ray diffraction. We show how highly pure BFCO films, differently from the theoretically expected ferrimagnetic behavior, present a very weak dichroic signal at Cr and Fe edges, with both moments aligned with the external field. Chemically sensitive hysteresis loops show no hysteretic behavior and no saturation up to 6.8 T. The linear responses are induced by the tilting of the Cr and Fe moments along the applied magnetic field.
