Theory predicts that certain layered heterostructures consisting of perovskite blocks have non-centrosymmetric structures. The breaking of spatial inversion symmetry arises through a combination of octahedral tilting and A site ordering. Following this prediction, we grow a thin-film of the [(YFeO3)5(LaFeO3)5]40 heterostructure using RHEED monitored pulsed layer deposition. Polar domains are present in the thin-film, as demonstrated by second harmonic generation and piezoelectric force microscopy measurements. We experimentally confirm that the heterostructure is also magnetically ordered at room temperature with a finite magnetization, retaining the magnetic structure of the individual YFeO3 and LaFeO3 components.
