Flexoelectric nanodomains in rare-earth iron garnet thin films under strain gradient

Flexoelectric nanodomains in rare-earth iron garnet thin films under strain gradient

Rare-earth iron garnets are ferrimagnetic insulators commercially known for their large magneto-optical effect. Here, strain-gradient engineering is used to induce flexoelectricity in Sm3Fe5O12 films, achieving simultaneous remanent dielectric polarization and magnetization at room temperature.
