Ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity in a superlattice of antiferromagnetic perovskite oxides without ferroelectric polarization

Abstract We study the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the SrCrO3/YCrO3 superlattice and their dependence on epitaxial strain. We discover that the superlattice adopts A-type antiferromagnetic (A-AFM) ordering in contrast to its constituents (SrCrO3: C-AFM; YCrO3: G-AFM) and retain...
