Electric modulation of magnetization at the BaTiO3/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 interfaces

Abstract: We report large (>10%) magnetization modulation by ferroelectric polarization reversal in the ferroelectric-ferromagnetic BaTiO3/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (BTO/LSMO) heterostructures. We find that the electrically induced change in magnetization is limited to the BTO/LSMO interface but extends about 3 nm deep into the LSMO layer—far beyond the expected screening length of metallic LSMO. It is suggested that this effect is due to a metal-insulator transition occurring at the BTO/LSMO interface as a result of elec… Show more

“…Therefore, one would have to assume that another uniaxial anisotropy contribution term should be responsible for the relatively large variation of the H a values. Since the ferroelectric field effect is mainly an interface effect [26], the extra K s term is expected to originate from the broken symmetry that the Mn ions experience at the LSMO/PZT interface, i.e., the surface magnetic anisotropy term (Néel model [27]). Along this direction, the modulation of the H a values can be argued to be a consequence of the alteration of the energy scale related to the e g levels of the interfacial Mn ions.…”

“…13 The energetic ordering of the e g orbitals on each Mn site as well as neighboring Mn sites profoundly affects the ground state magnetic properties. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Although structural distortions (e.g., Jahn-Teller or GdFeO 3 distortions) are common for bulk perovskite manganites, they only weakly remove orbital degeneracy. 13 With the development of epitaxial thin film growth techniques, it is possible to remove orbital degeneracy through straininduced Jahn-Teller-like distortions.…”

“…Ferroelectric (FE) substrates are unique due to the potential for electric modulation, coming from the ferroelectric polarization reversal, which can be considered as a form of extrinsic electrostatic doping at the FM-FE interfaces. 23 Not surprisingly, magneto-electric coupling at the FM/FE interfaces is attracting both theoretical and experimental interest. [23][24][25][26][27] In this context, the study of the magnetic properties of EuO, including the critical exponents, on a ferroelectric substrate is of especial interest because EuO as an insulator has few free carriers.…”
