Tuning Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy by Oxygen Octahedral Rotations in Superlattices
Abstract
Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) plays a critical role in the development of spintronics, thereby demanding new strategies to control PMA. Here we demonstrate a conceptually new type of interface induced PMA that is controlled by oxygen octahedral rotation. In superlattices comprised of La1-xSrxMnO 3 and SrIrO 3 , we find that all superlattices (0≤x≤1) exhibit ferromagnetism despite the fact that La1-xSrxMnO 3 is antiferromagnetic for x > 0.5. PMA as high as 4×106 erg/cm3 is observed by increasing x and attributed to a decrease of oxygen octahedral rotation at interfaces. We also demonstrate that oxygen octahedral deformation cannot explain the trend in PMA. These results reveal a new degree of freedom to control PMA, enabling discovery of emergent magnetic textures and topological phenomena.
