Epitaxial thin films of ferromagnetic La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) and charge-ordered, antiferromagnetic Y0.5Ca0.5MnO3 (YCMO) were deposited on SrTiO3 (100) substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The heterostructure undergoes ...

Transition metal oxides constitute one of the most important classes of solids, exhibiting a wide range of structures and fascinating properties originating from a strong coupling among spin, orbital, charge and lattice ...

We report the discovery of the linear magnetoelectric effect in a family of spinel oxides, Co3O4 and MnB2O4 (B = Al, Ga) with simple collinear antiferromagnetic spin structure. An external magnetic field induces a dielectric ...

A few oxides such as YMnO3, TbMnO3, YMn2O5 and BiFeO3 constituted the small family of well-characterized multiferroics until recently, but this area of research has been enlarged significantly due to the advent of a novel ...

The potassium vanadium oxide-fluoride phase -KVOF3 was prepared by in-situ reduction with hydrothermal methods and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The compound ...
