摘要:

电场在发现和控制凝聚态奇异电子态方面发挥了关键作用。然而,电场通常在金属中不起作用,因为自由载流子会屏蔽静电场。虽然由非均匀晶格应变产生的赝电场(即挠曲电场)原则上可在所有类别的材料中起作用,但其在金属中的实验研究仍属空白。在这里,利用异质外延和原子尺度成像,我们证明挠曲电场可使金属氧化物SrRuO3极化,并产生出乎意料的大Ru偏心位移。我们还观察到,挠曲电诱导的SrRuO3极化态导致显著的晶格膨胀,这类似于电介质在外加电场下由离子位移引起的电致伸缩膨胀。我们进一步表明,挠曲电驱动的Ru偏心促进了晶格自由度与电子自由度之间的强耦合,可能增强SrRuO3的铁磁性。除常规电场外,挠曲电场或许能普遍产生新颖电子态,并通过纯原子位移以无损且快速的方式实现对这些电子态的控制。

英文摘要:

Electric fields have played a key role in discovering and controlling exotic electronic states of condensed matter. However, electric fields usually do not work in metals as free carriers tend to screen electrostatic fields. While a pseudo-electric field generated by inhomogeneous lattice strain, namely a flexoelectric field, can in principle work in all classes of materials, it remains experimentally unexplored in metals. Here, using heteroepitaxy and atomic-scale imaging, we show that flexoelectric fields can polarize a metallic oxide SrRuO3 with unexpectedly large Ru off-center displacements. We also observe that the flexoelectrically induced polar state of SrRuO3 leads to sizable lattice expansion, similar to the electrostrictive expansion caused by ionic displacements in dielectrics under an external electric field. We further suggest that flexoelectrically driven Ru off-centering promotes strong coupling between lattice and electronic degrees of freedom, possibly enhancing the ferromagnetism of SrRuO3. Beyond conventional electric fields, flexoelectric fields may universally engender novel electronic states and their control via pure atomic displacements in a nondestructive and fast manner.
