Complex oxides are record holder materials for many phenomena, including ferroelectricity,
piezoelectricity, superconductivity and multiferroicity. Complex oxides often have competing …

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 …

Materials that exhibit simultaneous order in their electric and magnetic ground states hold
promise for use in next-generation memory devices in which electric fields control …

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 …

The crystal and magnetic structures of single-crystalline hexagonal LuFeO 3 films have been
studied using x-ray, electron, and neutron diffraction methods. The polar structure of these …

Improper ferroelectricity (trimerization) in the hexagonal manganites RMnO3 leads to a
network of coupled structural and magnetic vortices that induce domain wall …

We report on the magnetic structure and ordering of hexagonal LuFeO 3 films of variable
thickness grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on YSZ (111) and Al 2 O 3 (0001) substrates …

In this work, a simple solution combustion synthesis followed by heat treatment was
proposed to produce nanocrystalline h-YbFeO3/o-YbFeO3 heterojunction and phase-pure o …

Hexagonal rare-earth manganites and ferrites are well-known improper ferroelectrics with
low-temperature antiferromagnetism/weak ferromagnetism. In recent decades, new multi …

Hexagonal orthoferrites of rare earths RFeO 3 (R= Lu, Er-Tb) were grown epitaxially on
(111) ZrO 2 (Y 2 O 3) substrates using metal-organic chemical vapour deposition …
