Unlike widely explored complex oxide heterostructures grown along [001], the study of [111]-oriented heterointerfaces are very limited thus far. One of the main challenges is to overcome the polar discontinuity that hinders the epitaxy of…
Iron(II) monoxide (FeO) is thermodynamically stable in the halite (w\"ustite) structure only at elevated temperatures in a typically non-stoichiometric, Fe-deficient, Fe$_{1-z}$O form that tends to phase separate and/or transform into…
Controlling magnetism by using electric fields is a goal of research towards novel spintronic devices and future nano-electronics. For this reason, multiferroic heterostructures attract much interest. Here we provide experimental evidence,…
We have investigated the out-of-plane lattice relaxation related to the ferroelectric transitions in epitaxial BaTiO$_3$ (BTO) films using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Under either compressive strain or tensile strain, there is evidence…
From an experimental point of view, room temperature ferroelectricity in BiFeO3 is raising many questions. Electric measurements made a long time ago on solid-solutions of BiFeO3 with Pb(Ti,Zr)O3 indicate that a spontaneous electric…
Magnetic complex-oxide heterostructures are of keen interest because a wealth of phenomena at the interface of dissimilar materials can give rise to fundamentally new physics and potentially valuable functionalities. Altered magnetization,…
The results of x-ray diffraction (XRD) studies on 0.65Bi(Ni1/2Ti1/2)O3-0.35PbTiO3 solid solution poled at various electric field is presented. After poling, significant value of planar electromechanical coupling coefficient (kP) is observed…
Multiferroic materials open up the possibility to design novel functionality in electronic devices, with low energy consumption. However, there are very few materials that show multiferroicity at room temperature, which is essential to be…
While polar metals are a metallic analogue of ferroelectrics, magnetic polar metals can be considered as a metallic analogue of multiferroics. There have been a number of attempts to integrate magnetism into a polar metal by synthesizing…
We report on the functionalization of multiferroic BiFeO3 epitaxial films for spintronics. A first example is provided by the use of ultrathin layers of BiFeO3 as tunnel barriers in magnetic tunnel junctions with La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 and Co…

The advent of novel high-entropy oxides has sparked substantial research interest due to their exceptional functional properties, which often surpass the mere sum of their constituent elements' characteristics. This study introduces a…
Transition metal oxide thin films show versatile electrical, magnetic, and thermal properties which can be tailored by deliberately introducing macroscopic grain boundaries via polycrystalline solids. In this study, we focus on the…
Experimental results on Bi2FeCrO6 (BFCO) epitaxial films deposited by laser ablation on SrTiO3 substrates are presented. It has been theoretically predicted using first-principles density functional theory that BFCO is ferrimagnetic (with a…
In ferroelectrics, complex interactions among various degrees of freedom enable the condensation of topologically protected polarization textures. Known as ferroelectric solitons, these particle-like structures represent a new class of…
Double perovskites provide a unique opportunity to induce and control multiferroic behaviors in oxide systems. The appealing possibility to design materials with a strong coupling between the magnetization and the polarization fields may be…
Epitaxial strain is a powerful means to engineer emergent phenomena in thin films and heterostructures. Here, we demonstrate that KTaO3, a cubic perovskite in bulk form, can be epitaxially strained into a highly tunable ferroelectric. KTaO3…
