“…2,4 The magnetic properties of M 2 Mo 3 O 8 can be controlled by manipulating the external magnetic field, electric field, and temperature. 1,2,5 In addition to powders and bulk single crystals, 4,[6][7][8][9][10][11] epitaxial M 2 Mo 3 O 8 films for M = Mn have been prepared on Al 2 O 3 (001) substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). 12 Tensilestrained Mn 2 Mo 3 O 8 (hereafter MMO) films exhibit a larger spontaneous magnetization and polarization and a higher Ne ´el temperature (T N ) than bulk single crystals, 4,12 demonstrating that strain engineering is a promising way to modify the ferroic properties of MMO films.…”
