Spin Canting and Orbital Order in Spinel Vanadate Thin Films

Christie Thompson, Dalmau Reig-i-Plessis, Lazar Kish +5

We report on the epitaxial film growth and characterization of CoV${}_2$O${}_4$, a near-itinerant spinel vanadate, grown on (001) SrTiO${}_3$. The symmetry lowering of the unit cell from…
