Origin of lowered magnetic moments in epitaxially strained thin films of multiferroic Bi${}_2$FeCrO${}_6$

Paresh Chandra Rout, Aditya Putatunda, Varadharajan Srinivasan

We have investigated the effect of epitaxial strain on the magnetic properties and $B$-site cation ordering in multiferroic Bi${}_2$FeCrO${}_6$ (001) thin films using a density-functio…
