We explore manganite interface magnetism in epitaxially grown La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 ͑LSMO͒ / SrTiO 3 ultrathin superlattices ͑SL͒ along ͑110͒ orientation. We show that robust ferromagnetism persists down to 4 monolayers ͑MLs͒ LSMO ͑ϳ1.1 nm in thickness͒, of which 50% Mn is at the interface state. Above 8 MLs, the magnetic moment is nearly saturated to the theoretical value of 3.7 B with an estimated interface moment of 3.2 B . In comparison to ͑100͒-oriented SLs which were previously shown to have a spin-canted ground state, ͑110͒oriented SLs exhibit stronger low-dimensional ferromagnetism and better metallicity, suggesting a ferromagnetic-interface spin state well suited for all-oxide spintronic devices. The underlining mechanism is qualitatively discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
