Chiral multiferroicity in two-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites.

Chiral multiferroics offer remarkable capabilities for controlling quantum devices at multiple levels. However, these materials are rare due to the competing requirements of long-range orders and strict symmetry constraints. In this study, we present experimental evidence that the coexistence of ferroelectric, magnetic orders, and crystallographic chirality is achievable in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites [(R/S)-β-methylphenethylamine]CuCl.

Design of high polarization low switching barrier hybrid improper ferroelectric perovskite oxide superlattices.

Hybrid improper ferroelectricity is a useful tool to design ABO/A'BO polar superlattices from non polar building blocks. In this study, we have designed high polarization-low switching barrier hybrid improper ferroelectric superlattices with efficient polarization, and polarization-magnetization switching properties above room temperature, using density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations. Superlattices with a chemical formula of (AAlO)/(A'AlO), where / = 1/1, 1/3, 3/1, 1/5 and 5/1, A, A' = Lanthanide and Y cations are considered to outline the design principles behind polarization switching and (LaFeO)/(CeFeO) is investigated for polarization-magnetization switching.

Electron Spin Decoherence Dynamics in Magnetic Manganese Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Crystals: The Effect of Lattice Dimensionality.

Organic-inorganic metal hybrids with their tailorable lattice dimensionality and intrinsic spin-splitting properties are interesting material platforms for spintronic applications. While the spin decoherence process is extensively studied in lead- and tin-based hybrids, these systems generally show short spin decoherence lifetimes, and their correlation with the lattice framework is still not well-understood. Herein, we synthesized magnetic manganese hybrid single crystals of (4-fluorobenzylamine)MnCl, (()-3-fluoropyrrolidinium)MnCl, and (pyrrolidinium)MnCl, which represent a change in lattice dimensionality from 2D and 1D to 0D, and studied their spin decoherence processes using continuous-wave electron spin resonance spectroscopy.
