Enhanced Magnetism in Cation‐Modulated Manganite Heterostructures
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Magnetic contrast is introduced within a single manganite system via a small modulation of the cation ratio. Enhanced magnetization occurs in superlattices with small stoichiometric differences. The combined SQUID, polarized neutron reflectometry, and x‐ray absorption spectroscopy results are consistent with the interfacial electronic reconstruction ...
