Abstract

Using Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire theory, we have addressed the complex interplay between structural antiferrodistortive order parameter (oxygen octahedron rotations), polarization and magnetization in EuxSr 1-xTiO3 nanosystems. We have calculated the phase diagrams of EuxSr1-xTiO3 bulk, nanotubes and nanowires, which include the antiferrodistortive, ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic phases. For EuxSr1-xTiO3 nanosystems, our calculations show the presence of antiferrodistortive- ferroelectric-ferromagnetic phase or the triple phase at low temperatures (≤10 K). The polarization and magnetization values in the triple phase are calculated to be relatively high (∼50 μC/cm2 and ∼0.5 MA/m). Therefore, the strong coupling between structural distortions, polarization, and magnetization suggests the EuxSr 1-xTiO3 nanosystems as strong candidates for possible multiferroic applications.
