With reduced dimensionality, it is often easier to modify the properties of ultrathin films than their bulk counterparts. Strain engineering, usually achieved by choosing appropriate substrates, has been proven effective in controlling the properties of perovskite oxide films. An emerging alternative route for developing new multifunctional perovskite is by modification of the oxygen octahedral structure. Here we report the control of structural oxygen octahedral rotation in ultrathin perovskite SrRuO₃ films by the deposition of a SrTiO₃ capping layer, which can be lithographically patterned to achieve local control. Here, using a scanning Sagnac magnetic microscope, we show an increase in the Curie temperature of SrRuO₃ due to the suppression octahedral rotations revealed by the synchrotron x-ray diffraction. Lastly, this capping-layer-based technique may open new possibilities for developing functional oxide materials.
