Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Multidisciplinary Materials Science Materials Science, Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences Science & Technology Technology
Engineering octahedral rotations in oxide heterostructures is a promising route for controlling magnetic properties in perovskites, with recent work focusing on magnetic-ordering temperatures and magnetic anisotropies. Here the effects of interfacial octahedral coupling on magnetoresistance are demonstrated in a series of (La0.7Sr0.3MnO3)(n)/(LaFeO3)(10) superlattices grown on (001)- and (111)-oriented SrTiO3 substrates. The different crystallographic orientations allow for the interfacial octahedral connectivity to be tuned, with weaker interfacial coupling present at the (001)-oriented than the (111)-oriented structures as revealed by density functional theory calculations. In n = 14 superlattices, the effect of orientation on the physical properties is minimal with both (001)- and (111)-oriented samples exhibiting similar magnetoresistance. As the fraction of interfacial volume within the LSMO layers is increased by decreasing n, the magnetoresistive behavior of the samples diverges with significantly larger magnetoresistance magnitudes present in the (111)-oriented superlattices. The results are consistent with octahedral coupling playing a greater role in the functional properties at (111)-heterointerfaces and demonstrate a structure-driven approach to tuning interfacial magnetoresistance in complex-oxide heterostructures.
