Polar Cation Ordering: A Route to Introducing >10% Bond Strain Into Layered Oxide Films
Abstract
The 3d transition metal (M) perovskite oxides exhibit a remarkable array of properties, including novel forms of superconductivity, magnetism and multiferroicity. Strain can have a profound effect on many of these properties. This is due to the localized nature of the M 3d orbitals, where even small changes in the M–O bond lengths and M–O–M bond angles produced by strain can be used to tune the 3d– O 2p hybridization, creating large changes in electronic structure. We present a new route to strain the M–O bonds in epitaxial two-dimensional perovskite films by tailoring local electrostatic dipolar interactions within every formula unit via atomic layer-by-layer synthesis. The response of the O anions to the resulting dipole electric fields distorts the M–O bonds by more than 10%, without changing substrate strain or chemical composition. We found that this distortion is largest for the apical oxygen atoms (Oap), and alters the transition metal valence state via self-doping without chemical substitution.
