While nature provides a plethora of perovskite materials, only a few exhibit large ferroelectricity and possibly multiferroicity. The majority of perovskite materials have the nonpolar CaTiO_{3}(CTO) structure, limiting the scope of their applications. Based on the effective Hamiltonian model as well as first-principles calculations, we propose a general thin-film design method to stabilize the functional BiFeO_{3}(BFO)-type structure, which is a common metastable structure in widespread CTO…

Why Are There So Few Perovskite Ferroelectrics

We use a combination of symmetry arguments and first-principles calculations to explore the connection between structural distortions and ferroelectricity in the perovskite family of materials. We…

Improper ferroelectricity in perovskite oxide artificial superlattices

It is shown that superlattices with very short periods possess a new form of interface coupling, based on rotational distortions, which gives rise to ‘improper’ ferroelectricity, and an approach is suggested,based on interface engineering, to produce artificial materials with unique properties.

Room-temperature polar ferromagnet ScFeO3 transformed from a high-pressure orthorhombic perovskite phase.

LiNbO3-type ScFeO3 is successfully obtained, a metastable phase converted from the orthorhombic perovskite formed under 15 GPa at elevated temperatures, providing a general and versatile strategy to create materials in which ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism coexist at high temperatures.

Epitaxial BiFeO3 Multiferroic Thin Film Heterostructures

Enhanced polarization and related properties in heteroepitaxially constrained thin films of the ferroelectromagnet, BiFeO3, and combined functional responses in thin film form present an opportunity to create and implement thin film devices that actively couple the magnetic and ferroelectric order parameters.

Atomically engineered ferroic layers yield a room-temperature magnetoelectric multiferroic

The results demonstrate a design methodology for creating higher-temperature magnetoelectric multiferroics by exploiting a combination of geometric frustration, lattice distortions and epitaxial engineering.

Probing the electronic structures of ternary perovskite and pyrochlore oxides containing Sn(4+) or Sb(5+).

The participation of the normally inert A- site cation in the electronic structure near the Fermi level can be considered an inductive effect, as it utilizes substitution on the A-site to directly modify the electronic structures of the SnO(3)(2)(-) framework.

Room temperature multiferroicity in orthorhombic LuFeO$_3$

From the measurement of dielectric, ferroelectric, and magnetic properties we observe simultaneous ferroelectric and magnetic transitions around $\sim$600 K in orthorhombic LuFeO$_3$. We also observe…
