Engineered spatial inversion symmetry breaking in an oxide heterostructure built from isosymmetric room-temperature magnetically ordered components

J. Alaria, P. Borisov, M. S. Dyer +10

The oxide heterostructure [(YFeO${}_3$)${}_5$(LaFeO${}_3$)${}_5$]${}_{40}$, which is magnetically ordered and piezoelectric at room temperature, has been constructed from two weak ferromagne…
