Key Points

The study aims to explore the effects of defect engineering on ferroelectric and magnetoelectric properties in LaFeO3 thin films.
Utilized LaFeO3 thin films for experimentation
Engineered defects within the films through controlled processing
Evaluated ferroelectric and magnetoelectric properties using characterization techniques
Observed improved ferroelectric responses in defect-engineered samples
Established a direct correlation between defects and magnetoelectric properties
Achieved notable enhancement in room temperature multiferroic functionality

Implication

Research demonstrates enhanced ferroelectricity and magnetoelectric coupling in LaFeO3 thin films, indicating new pathways for multiferroic materials.

Abstract

The pursuit of single-phase multiferroics that operate at room temperature remains a significant challenge due to the mutual exclusiveness of ferroelectricity and magnetism in most materials.LaFeO 3 (LFO), a classic antiferromagnet,...
