| description | We present a study of the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of single-crystal EuTiO3. Signatures of
metastability are visible in the heat capacity below the cubic-tetragonal phase transition at 283 K, supporting the
evidence for a mismatch between long and short range structural order from previous x-ray diffraction studies.
Employing the anisotropic magnetization as an indirect structural probe, we confirm the emergence of multiple
orthogonal domains at low temperature. Torque magnetometry is capable of revealing the nature and temperature
dependence of the magnetic anisotropy in spite of the domain misalignment; we hence deduce that tetragonal
EuTiO3 enters an easy-axis antiferromagnetic phase at 5.6 K, with a first-order phase transition to an easy-plane
ground state below 3 K. Our experimentally determined magnetic phase diagram is accurately reproduced by
a three-dimensional (3D) anisotropic Heisenberg spin model. Furthermore, we demonstrate that electric field
cooling acts to suppress this orientational disorder by realigning the domains due to the strong coupling between
electric fields and lattice dipoles characteristic of paraelectric materials. |
