英文摘要 | Although nanoscale multiferroics with coupled ferroelectricity and magnetism are of great technological and fundamental importance, the ferroic orders are inevitably destroyed in atomic-scale dimensions due to the intrinsic size effect or depolarization field. Here, we propose a strategy for atomic-size multiferroics by engineering the otherwise detrimental point defects in nonmagnetic paraelectric SrTiO3. Systematic exploration using first-principles and molecular dynamics simulations demonstrates that the Ti antisite (Ti-sr) defects in SrTiO3 have a tendency toward clustering with compact closure, which contributes to complex electrical polarization due to the large off-centering displacements of Ti-sr defects and the resulting separation between negative and positive charges. The Ti-sr defects also give rise to highly localized magnetic moments attributed to their unpaired spin-polarized electrons. The defect clustering and the associated multiferroic properties thus lead to atomic-size multiferroics with unusual ferroic orders. |
