Strain engineering of ferroic properties in AFeO3 (A = La, Bi) films — •Antonia Rieche, Aurora Diana Rata, Wolfgang Hoppe, and Kathrin Dörr — Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg

Ferroic properties such as magnetization (M), antiferromagnetic order (L) and ferroelectric polarization (P) can be studied and potentially manipulated with light. An essential prerequisite for this is a successful control of the ferroic domain structures, so that a large mean value of M (L, P) can be achieved. Antiferromagnetic ferrites AFeO3 with weak canted ferromagnetism have shown intriguing optical properties in bulk single crystal, while work on thin films is quite limited due to nanoscopic multidomain coexistence. Here we present results of our attempt to optimize BiFeO3 and LaFeO3 layers for optical experiments. The epitaxial strain controlled by the choice of substrate is used to achieve the formation of structural domains in these ferrite layers in a desirable way. Defined structural domain patterns allow selected orientations and sizes of M, L and P. The films are grown using pulsed laser deposition (KrF 248 nm) and characterized by x-ray diffraction, magnetooptical Kerr effect and scanning probe microscopies.
