Abstract

The interfacial spin state of the multiferroic heterostructure PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 and its dependence on ferroelectric polarization is investigated with magnetic second-harmonic generation at 78 K. The spin alignment of Mn ions in the first unit cell layer at the heterointerface can be tuned from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic exchange coupled, while the bulk magnetization remains unchanged. Multiple domains of both phases coexist as the ferroelectric polarization is switched. The results will help promote the development of new interface-based functionalities and device concepts.
