BiFeO3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 heterostructures deposited on Spark Plasma Sintered LaAlO3 Substrates
D. Pravarthana, M. Trassin, Jiun Haw Chu +5
Multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) / La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 heterostructured thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition on polished spark plasma sintered LaAlO3 (LAO) polycrystalline substrat…
Interfacial Coupling in Multiferroic-Ferromagnet Heterostructures
M. Trassin, J. D. Clarkson, S. R. Bowden +6
We report local probe investigations of the magnetic interaction between BiFeO3 films and a ferromagnetic Co0.9Fe0.1 layer. Within the constraints of intralayer exchange coupling i…
Switching on Antiferroelectrics
G. Catalan, A. Gruverman, J. Ãñiguez-González +2
Antiferroelectrics attract broad attention due to their unusual physical characteristics, chief among which is the double-hysteresis loop that separates their antipolar ground stat…
Epitaxial integration of improper ferroelectric h-YMnO thin films in heterostructures
J. Nordlander, M. D. Rossell, M. Campanini +2
We report on multiple fundamental qualitative improvements in the growth of improper ferroelectric hexagonal YMnO (YMO) thin films and heterostructures by pulsed laser depositi…
Symmetry-Tunable Environment in Functional Ferroic Heterostructures
C. Becher, M. Trassin, M. Lilienblum +7
We demonstrate a concept for post-growth symmetry control in oxide heterostructures. A functional oxide is sandwiched between two ferroelectric layers and inversion symmetry at the…
Inversion-symmetry engineering in sub-unit-cell-layered oxide thin films
J. Nordlander, M. D. Rossell, M. Campanini +2
Inversion symmetry breaking is a ubiquitous concept in condensed-matter science. On the one hand, it is a prerequisite for many technologically relevant effects such as piezoelectr…
Epitaxy-distorted spin-orbit Mott insulator in Sr2IrO4 thin films
C. Rayan Serrao, Jian Liu, J. T. Heron +14
High quality epitaxial thin films of Jeff=1/2 Mott insulator Sr2IrO4 with increasing in-plane tensile strain have been grown on top of SrTiO3(001) substrates. Increasing the in-pla…
