There is an increasing understanding of the mechanisms underlying the development of
magnetoelectric coupling and multiferroic order in both single-phase and composite …

We review recent developments and advances in the synthesis of thin-film multiferroic and
magnetoelectric heterostructures. Driven by the promise of new materials with built-in useful …

Using epitaxy and the misfit strain imposed by an underlying substrate, it is possible to
elastically strain oxide thin films to percent levels—far beyond where they would crack in …

Ferroelectric ferromagnets are exceedingly rare, fundamentally interesting multiferroic
materials that could give rise to new technologies in which the low power and high speed of …

A superexchange mechanism between Eu 2+ 4 f spins via the 3 d states of nonmagnetic Ti
4+ ions is proposed through first-principles calculations based on a hybrid Hartree-Fock …

Molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) is the gold standard for the epitaxial growth of complex
oxides with the best material properties as determined by respective figures of merit …

Phase-pure, stoichiometric, unstrained, epitaxial (001)-oriented EuTiO 3 thin films have
been grown on (001) SrTiO 3 substrates by reactive molecular-beam epitaxy. Magnetization …

We present a systematic first-principles study of the structural and vibrational properties of
perovskite-structure EuTiO 3. Our calculated phonon spectrum of the high-symmetry cubic …

A comparative study of the crystal and electronic structure and magnetism of divalent
europium perovskite oxides Eu M O3 (M= Ti, Zr, and Hf) has been performed on the basis of …

Ab initio computations are performed to investigate properties of bulk material and epitaxial
films made of EuTiO 3 (ETO). A whole family of nanoscale twinned phases, that present …
