Combining half-metals and multiferroics into epitaxial heterostructures for spintronics

H. Bea, M. Bibes, M. Sirena +8

We report on the growth of epitaxial bilayers of the La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) half-metallic ferromagnet and the BiFeO3 (BFO) multiferroic, on SrTiO3(001) by pulsed laser deposition. T…
