Designing ferromagnetism in vanadium-oxide based superlattices    [PDF]

Hung T. Dang, Andrew J. Millis
Motivated by recent reports (Phys. Rev. B\textbf{80}, 241102) of room-temperature ferromagnetism in vanadium-oxide based superlattices, a single-site dynamical mean field study of the dependence of the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase boundary on superlattice geometry was performed. An examination of variants of the experimentally determined crystal structure indicate that ferromagnetism is found only in a small and probably inaccessible region of the phase diagram. Design criteria for increasing the range over which ferromagnetism might exist are proposed.
