摘要:

本文报道了反铁磁斜方晶YMnO_3外延[001]和[100]织构薄膜的介电性质及其在外延压应变下的变化。研究发现,在外加磁场作用下,弱应变YMnO 3薄膜的极化沿c轴方向可转换90度。当减小膜厚和增加外延应变时,铁电有序逐渐被抑制。结构,介电和磁性数据的分析表明,铁电性的抑制,当减少厚度是伴随着一个放大的比例a/b的正交结构的面内单元参数和净磁化的外观。所有结果都可以用正交晶系锰氧化物的多铁性相图来描述。

英文摘要:

We report on the dielectric properties of epitaxial [001] and [100]-textured thin films of antiferromagnetic orthorhombic YMnO3 and their variation under compressive epitaxial strain. It is found that weakly strained YMnO3 films are ferroelectric with a polarization along c-axis switchable by 90 degrees by an external magnetic field. When reducing film thickness and increasing epitaxial strain, the ferroelectric order is progressively suppressed. Analysis of structural, dielectric and magnetic data indicates that suppression of ferroelectricity when reducing thickness is accompanied by an enlarged ratio a/b of the in-plane cell parameters of the orthorhombic structure and the appearance of a net magnetization. All results can be well described by considering the multiferroic phase diagram of orthorhombic manganites.
