Abstract:

Albeit having great potential toward unprecedented type of applications
such as magnetoelectric (ME) sensors and memories, practically useful single-phase multiferroics that show large coupling between ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity at ambient temperatures are still lacking. Here, the discovery of a new type of perovskite ferroelectrics (Pb,M)(Fe$_{1/2}$Nb$_{1/2}$)O$_3$ (M = Fe, Co, Ni) is reported with a magnetically-active metal ion introduced into a cuboctahedrally-coordinated Pb position, which exhibits enhanced ME coupling owing to the development of simultaneous soft-ferromagnetism and lone-pair ferroelectricity persistent above room temperature. These Pb-site engineered (Pb,M)(Fe$_{1/2}$Nb$_{1/2}$)O$_3$ perovskites exhibit a ME coupling coefficient of ≈40–60 ps m$^{−1}$ , a saturated electric polarization of 14–17 μC cm$^{−2}$ and a saturation magnetization of 0.15–0.3 μB f.u$^{−1}$. X-ray absorption spectroscopy combined with first-principles calculations demonstrates that the induced ferromagnetism originates from the ferromagnetic superexchange interaction coming from ≈90° bonding between the magnetic ions at the Pb site. ... mehr
