for an Invited Paper for the MAR11 Meeting of The American Physical Society Electric field control of magnetism in multiferroic heterostructures1 CARLOS A.F. VAZ, Paul Scherrer Institut, 5232 Villigen PSI, Switzerland Much interest is being devoted to designing systems where magnetic and ferroelectric orders coexist (multiferroics), and where the presence of magnetoelectric coupling could enabl...

Memristors based on oxide tunnel junctions are promising candidates for energy efficient neuromorphic computing. However, the low power sensing of nonvolatile resistive state is an important challenge. We report optically induced a memristor La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/BaTiO3/In2O3:SnO2 (90:10) heterostructure with 3 nm thick BaTiO3 ferroelectric barrier. The memristive response originates from modulation i...

The effects of tetragonal strain on the electronic and magnetic properties of strontium-doped lanthanum manganite, La(2/3)Sr(1/3)MnO(3) (LSMO), are investigated by means of density-functional methods. As far as the structural properties are concerned, the comparison between theory and experiments for LSMO strained on the most commonly used substrates shows an overall good agreement: the slight ...
