Unidirectional electric current flow, such as that found in a diode, is essential for modern electronics. It usually occurs at asymmetric interfaces p-n junctions or metal/semiconductor with Schottky barriers. We report on diode effect associated the direction of bulk polarization BiFeO3: ferroelectric small optical gap edge approximately 2.2 electron volts. conduction monodomain BiFeO3 crystals highly nonlinear and unidirectional. This switches its when flipped by an external voltage. A...

The structural properties of ${\mathrm{LaCoO}}_{3}$ were studied by means high-resolution neutron powder diffraction in the temperature range $5<~T<~1000\mathrm{K}.$ Changes ${\mathrm{Co}}^{+3}$ spin states this interval are shown to affect not only unit-cell volume, as previously known, but also internal parameters such metal-oxygen bond lengths. These data, well temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility, can be qualitatively modeled based on a three-state (low-spin, intermediate-spin,...

Multiferroics are those materials with more than one ferroic order, and magnetoelectricity refers to the mutual coupling between magnetism (spins and/or magnetic field) electricity (electric dipoles electric field). In spite of long research history in whole twentieth century, discipline multiferroicity has never been so highly active as that first decade twenty-first it become hottest disciplines condensed matter physics science. A series milestones steady progress past have enabled our...

Directions of rectification and photocurrent in a ferroelectric BiFeO3 crystal can be switched by applying high-voltage pulses at room temperature. The switching is highly repeatable though cycling also stable with time. This switchable diode effect results from the combination polarization flipping electromigration oxygen vacancies.

We show that a number of transport properties in topological insulator (TI) Bi${}_{2}$Se${}_{3}$ exhibit striking thickness dependences over range up to five orders (3 nm--170 \ensuremath{\mu}m). Volume carrier density decreased with thickness, presumably due diffusion-limited formation selenium vacancies. Mobility increased linearly the thin film regime and saturated thick limit. The weak antilocalization effect was dominated by single two-dimensional channel two decades thickness....

Abstract Altermagnetism is introduced as a category of magnetic states with ‘collinear’ antiferromagnetic spins and alternating variations local structures around in such way that the symmetry allows typical ferromagnetic behaviors. Altermagnets exhibiting behaviors without any external perturbations (type-I) turn out to belong point group. Other altermagnets (type-II type-III) can have only electric current or stress, which conserve parity-time-reversal (PT) symmetry. All types themselves...

We present a detailed study on the effects of applied hydrostatic pressure magnetoresistance in doped LaMn${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ at fixed doping level. In all cases, application external monotonically increases Curie temperature. This is compared with "internal" pressure, which varied by substituting different rare-earth ions for La. Both can be understood one simple picture that relates structural modifications to variation Mn-Mn electronic transfer integral. Thus general phase diagram has been...

Low-field tunneling magnetoresistance was observed in films of half-metallic CrO 2 that were grown by high-pressure thermal decomposition 3 . High-temperature annealing treatments modified the intergrain barriers as-grown through surface into insulating Cr O , which led to a threefold enhancement low-field magnetoresistance. This indicates potential this simple method directly control interface barrier characteristics determine magnetotransport properties.
