Interface-induced magnetic polar metal phase in complex oxides

Polar metals—metals with polar structural distortions—are known not to be magnetic. Here, the authors demonstrate a magnetic polar metal phase in a BaTiO3/SrRuO3/BaTiO3 heterostructure displaying high conductivity and ferromagnetic ordering with high saturation moment.
