Ultrahigh energy density dielectric film Dielectrics help hold charge as capacitors and are fundamental storage components. Improving other properties may these materials be more competitive with batteries for applications. Pan et al. introduced a specific type of nanodomain structure in BiFeO 3 -BaTiO -SrTiO solid solution that dramatically increased the density. The nanodomains were organized so to minimize loss during polarization switching. enhancement suggests strategy useful designing...
Intrinsic magnetic topological insulator (TI) is a stoichiometric compound possessing both inherent order and electronic states. Such material can provide shortcut to various novel quantum effects but remains elusive experimentally so far. Here, we report the experimental realization of high-quality thin films an intrinsic TI---MnBi$_2$Te$_4$---by alternate growth Bi$_2$Te$_3$ quintuple-layer MnTe bilayer with molecular beam epitaxy. The shows archetypical Dirac surface states in...
We demonstrate a highly reproducible control of local electron transport through ferroelectric oxide via its spontaneous polarization. Electrons are injected from the tip an atomic force microscope into thin film lead-zirconate titanate, Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3, in regime tunneling assisted by high electric field (Fowler-Nordheim tunneling). The current exhibits pronounced hysteresis with abrupt switching events that coincide, within experimental resolution, large polarization PZT results up to...
Detailed analysis of transport, magnetism, and x-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements on ultrathin ${\text{La}}_{0.7}{\text{Sr}}_{0.3}{\text{MnO}}_{3}$ films with thicknesses from 3 to 70 unit cells resulted in the identification a lower critical thickness for nonmetallic nonferromagnetic layer at interface ${\text{SrTiO}}_{3}$ (001) substrate only three $(\ensuremath{\sim}12\text{ }\text{\AA{}})$. Furthermore, linear-dichroism demonstrate presence preferred...
We report the formation of a novel ferromagnetic state in antiferromagnet ${\mathrm{BiFeO}}_{3}$ at interface with ferromagnet ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{0.3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$. Using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism Mn and Fe ${L}_{2,3}$ edges, we discovered that development this spin structure is strongly associated onset significant exchange bias. Our results demonstrate directly related to an electronic orbital reconstruction interface, which supported by linearly polarized...
Epitaxial oxide interfaces with broken translational symmetry have emerged as a central paradigm behind the novel behaviors of superlattices.

We report direct experimental evidence for a room-temperature, $\ensuremath{\sim}130\text{ }\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{C}/{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$ ferroelectric polarization from the tetragonal-like ${\mathrm{BiFeO}}_{3}$ phase. The physical origin of this remarkable enhancement has been investigated by combination x-ray absorption spectroscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and first principles calculations. A large strain-induced Fe-ion displacement relative to oxygen...
We report a proof-of-concept demonstration of negative capacitance effect in nanoscale ferroelectric-dielectric heterostructure.
