Description

Controlling ferroic order at the nanoscale is central to the development of next-generation low-power electronic and spintronic devices. I will present our recent work on interface-engineered phenomena in complex oxide heterostructures based on BaTiO₃ and La₀.₆₇Sr₀.₃₃MnO₃. Through interface charge design, we realize switchable polar states down to a single unit cell of BaTiO₃ in superlattice and trilayer architectures. These results show that interface charge engineering can overcome critical thickness limits in ultrathin perovskite films. We thereby provide a pathway toward harnessing their low coercive fields for energy-efficient electronics.
