Abstract:
Perovskite rare-earth manganites like TbMnO₃ exhibit rich magnetic and electric phases, providing opportunities for next-generation multifunctional devices. Here, we report the nonvolatile bipolar switching of resistance and capacitance in TbMnO₃ thin films grown on conducting Nb:SrTiO₃ substrates. The device shows an ON/OFF resistance ratio of ∼1 × 10⁴, and the resistive switching is accompanied by a frequency-dependent capacitance switching. Detailed analysis of the conduction mechanisms reveals that the migration of oxygen vacancies and the charge trapping/detrapping at the heterojunction interface play important and complementary roles in the switching behaviors. Our results suggest that both electronic and ionic processes should be considered in order to elucidate the conduction mechanisms and the switching behaviors in such heterostructures made of complex oxides.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
