The ability to tailor a new crystalline structure and associated functionalities with a variety of
stimuli is one of the key issues in material design. Develo** synthetic routes to functional …

Epitaxial strain in 4 d ferromagnet SrRuO3 films is directly linked to the physical properties
through the strong coupling between lattices, electrons, and spins. It provides an excellent …

A ferroelectric memristor has attracted much attention due to convenient controlling by
polarization switching, but the resistive switching has been attributed to the drift or charge …

Anisotropies in electronic transportations conventionally originate from the nature of low
symmetries in crystal structures and were not anticipated for perovskite oxides with crystal …

The interfacial lattice mismatch and local elastic strains of Al/TiB 2 heterostructures are
quantitatively investigated by aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. Both in …

Oxide spinels of general formula AB 2 O 4 (A= Mg 2+, Fe 2+; B= Al 3+, Cr 3+, etc.) constitute
one of the most abundant crystalline structures in mineralogy. In this structure, cations …

Stoichiometric composition, in particular, oxygen concentration, is of critical importance for
distinct crystalline structures and emergent electronic properties of strongly correlated …

An auxetic behaviour is evidenced in CoFe 2 O 4 thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition
on (100) MgO substrates under various O 2/N 2 pressures. This rare behaviour for an …

Manganites (R 1− x A x MnO 3, R= rare-earth cation and A= alkali or alkaline earth cation)
host an immense number of phases and electronic properties, which can be mainly …

We report a magnetic transition region in La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 with gradually changing
magnitude of magnetization, but no rotation, stable at all temperatures below TC. Spatially …
