摘要
En 中文
Interphase strain engineering provides a unique methodology to significantly modify the lattice structure across a single film, enabling the emergence and manipulation of novel functionalities that are inaccessi-ble in the context of traditional strain engineering methods. In this work, by using the interphase strain, we achieve a ferromagnetic state with enhanced Curie temperature and a room-temperature polar state in EuO secondary phase-tunned EuTiO3 thin films. A combination of atomic-scale electron microscopy and synchrotron X-ray spectroscopy unravels the underlying mechanisms of the ferroelectric and ferro-magnetic properties enhancement. Wherein, the EuO secondary phase is found to be able to dramatically distort the TiO6 octahedra, which favors the non-centrosymmetric polar state, weakens antiferromagnetic Eu-Ti-Eu interactions, and enhances ferromagnetic Eu-O-Eu interactions. Our work demonstrates the fea-sibility and effectiveness of interphase strain engineering in simultaneously promoting ferroelectric and ferromagnetic performance, which would provide new thinking on the property regulation of numerous strongly correlated functional materials.
