RESUMO
We report the control of the interplane magnetic exchange coupling in CaIrO3 perovskite thin films and superlattices with SrTiO3. By analyzing the anisotropic magneto-transport data, we demonstrate that a semimetallic paramagnetic CaIrO3 turns into a canted antiferromagnetic Mott insulator at reduced dimensions. The emergence of a biaxial magneto-crystalline anisotropy indicates the canted moment responding to the cubic symmetry. Extending to superlattices and probing oxygen octahedral rotation by half-integer X-ray Braggs diffraction, a more complete picture about the canted moment evolution with interplane coupling can be understood. Remarkably, a rotation of the canted moments' easy axes by 45° is also observed by a sign reversal of the in-plane strain. These results demonstrate the robustness of anisotropic magnetoresistance in revealing quasi two-dimensional canted antiferromagnets, as well as valuable insights about quadrupolar magnetoelastic coupling, relevant for designing future antiferromagnetic spintronic devices.
RESUMO
Electric field effect in electronic double layer transistor (EDLT) configuration with ionic liquids as the dielectric materials is a powerful means of exploring various properties in different materials. Here, we demonstrate the modulation of electrical transport properties and extremely high mobility of two-dimensional electron gas at LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) interface through ionic liquid-assisted electric field effect. With a change of the gate voltages, the depletion of charge carrier and the resultant enhancement of electron mobility up to 19â¯380 cm(2)/(V s) are realized, leading to quantum oscillations of the conductivity at the LAO/STO interface. The present results suggest that high-mobility oxide interfaces, which exhibit quantum phenomena, could be obtained by ionic liquid-assisted field effect.
