Formation of Ferromagnetic/Ferroelectric Superlattices by a Laser MBE and Their Electric & Magnetic Properties
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
We have constructed artificial superlattices with a combination of magnetic/magnetic and ferroelectric/ferromagnetic materials using a laser ablation technique. An ideal hetero-epitaxy can be obtained due to the similar crystal structure of the perovskite type di/ferroelectric BaTiO3, Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (so-called PZT), SrTiO3 and ferro/antiferromagnetic LaFeO3, LaCrO3, (La,Sr)MnO3. First of all, we have controlled ferromagnetic order on LaFeO3/LaCrO3 superlattices formed on SrTiO3(l11) substrate. Such a spin structure(ferromagnetic order) can't be got in bulk condition. In the heterostructured ferromagnetic /ferroelectric devices, (La,Sr)MnO3/PZT there are remarkable and interesting phenomena. The electric properties of the ferromagnetic material can be controlled by the piezoelectric effect via distortion of the crystal structure.
