Ion injection controlled by an electric field is a powerful method to manipulate the diverse physical and chemical properties of metal oxides. However, the dynamic control of ion concentrations and their correlations with lattices in perovskite systems have not been fully understood. In this study, we systematically demonstrate the electric-field-controlled protonation of LaSrMnO (LSMO) films. The rapid and room-temperature protonation induces a colossal lattice expansion of 9.35% in tensile-strained LSMO, which is crucial for tailoring material properties and enabling a wide range of applications in advanced electronics, energy storage, and sensing technologies. This large expansion in the lattice is attributed to the higher degree of proton diffusion, resulting in a significant elongation in the Mn-O bond and octahedral tilting, which is supported by results from density functional theory calculations. Interestingly, such a colossal expansion is not observed in LSMO under compressive strain, indicating the close dependence of ion-electron-lattice coupling on strain states. These efficient modulations of the lattice and magnetoelectric functionalities of LSMO via proton diffusion offer a promising avenue for developing multifunctional iontronic devices.

Recent experiments suggest a new paradigm toward novel colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in a family of materials EuM[Formula: see text]X[Formula: see text] (M [Formula: see text] Cd, In, Zn; X [Formula: see text] P, As), distinct from the traditional avenues involving Kondo-Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida crossovers, magnetic phase transitions with structural distortions, or topological phase transitions. Here, we use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations to explore their origin, particularly focusing on EuCd[Formula: see text]P[Formula: see text]. While the low-energy spectral weight royally tracks that of the resistivity anomaly near the temperature with maximum magnetoresistance ([Formula: see text]) as expected from transport-spectroscopy correspondence, the spectra are completely incoherent and strongly suppressed with no hint of a Landau quasiparticle.

Controlling exchange bias (EB) by electric fields is crucial for next-generation magnetic random access memories and spintronics with ultralow energy consumption and ultrahigh speed. Multiferroic heterostructures have been traditionally used to electrically control EB and interfacial ferromagnetism through weak/indirect coupling between ferromagnetic and ferroelectric films. However, three major bottlenecks (lattice mismatch, interface defects, and weak/indirect coupling in multiferroic heterostructures) remain, resulting in only a few tens of milli-tesla EB field.

Polarons-fermionic charge carriers bearing a strong companion lattice deformation-exhibit a natural tendency for self-localization due to the recursive interaction between electrons and the lattice. While polarons are ubiquitous in insulators, how they evolve in transitions to metallic and superconducting states in quantum materials remains an open question. Here, we use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering to track the electron-lattice coupling in the colossal magneto-resistive bi-layer manganite La_{1.

Double perovskite films have been extensively studied for ferroelectric order, ferromagnetic order, and photovoltaic effects. The customized ion combinations and ordered ionic arrangements provide unique opportunities for bandgap engineering. Here, a synergistic strategy to induce chemical strain and charge compensation through inequivalent element substitution is proposed.
