Interface-Driven Multiferroicity in Cubic BaTiO-SrTiO Nanocomposites.

Perovskite multiferroics have drawn significant attention in the development of next-generation multifunctional electronic devices. However, the majority of existing multiferroics exhibit ferroelectric and ferromagnetic orderings only at low temperatures. Although interface engineering in complex oxide thin films has triggered many exotic room-temperature functionalities, the desired coupling of charge, spin, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom often imposes stringent requirements on deposition conditions, layer thickness and crystal orientation, greatly hindering their cost-effective large-scale applications.

Polycrystalline to preferred-(100) single crystal texture phase transformation of yttrium iron garnet nanoparticles.

Nanocrystalline Ce-substituted yttrium iron garnet (YIG) powders of different compositions, Y Ce FeO (0 ≤ ≤ 2.0), were synthesized by a combination of sol-gel auto-combustion and solid-state synthesis techniques. The as-obtained powder samples were sintered at 1150 °C for 10 h.
