The competition between shape and perpendicular magnetic anisotropies (PMA) in magnetic thin films gives rise to unusual magnetic behaviors. In ferromagnetic films with moderate PMA the magnetic domain configuration transitions from planar…
We study cubic ferroelectrics films that become uniaxial with a polar axis perpendicular to the film because of a misfit strain due to a substrate. The main present result is the analytical account for the elastic anisotropy as well as the…
Low-dimensional ferroelectricity has attracted tremendous attention due to its huge potential in device applications. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we predict the existence of spontaneous in-plane electrical polarization and…

The intended use of a magnetic material, from information storage to power conversion, depends crucially on its domain structure, traditionally crafted during materials synthesis. By contrast, we show that an external magnetic field applied…

A thermodynamic theory is developed for dense laminar domain structures in epitaxial ferrolectric films. It is found that, at some critical misfit strain between the film and substrate, the 90 degrees c/a/c/a domain structure becomes…
Highly-strained BiFeO3 exhibits a "tetragonal-like, monoclinic" crystal structure found only in epitaxial films (with an out-of-plane lattice parameter exceeding the in-plane value by >20%). Previous work has shown that this phase is…
