摘要: The magnetic properties of single-crystal EuTiO3 are suggestive nanoscale disorder below its cubic-tetragonal phase transition. We demonstrate that electric field cooling acts to restore monocrystallinity, thus confirming emergent structural is an intrinsic low-temperature property this material. Using torque magnetometry, we deduce tetragonal enters easy-axis antiferromagnetic at 5.6 K, with a first-order transition easy-plane ground state 3 K. Our data reproduced by 3D anisotropic Heisenberg spin model.
