“…While both materials are good conductors, their magnetic properties differ substantially. SrRuO 3 is ferromagnetic with Curie temperature of 165 K; CaRuO 3 is paramagnetic at all temperatures (Callagha, Moeller, & Ward, 1966;Koriyama et al, 2004;Randall & Ward, 1959). Using density-functional theory, Zayak et al predicted that SRO and CRO magnetic properties can be radically altered by a strain of 2e3% (Zayak, Huang, Neaton, & Rabe, 2008), which makes SRO and CRO materials perfect candidates for the study of the straineproperty relationship.…”
