Abstract
In orthoferrites the rare-earth (R) ion has a big impact on structural and magnetic properties; in particular, the ionic size influences the octahedral tilt and the R3+−Fe3+ interaction modifies properties like the spin reorientation. Growth-induced strain in thin films is another means to modify materials properties since the sign of strain affects the bond length and therefore directly the orbital interaction. Our study focuses on epitaxially grown (010)-oriented DyFeO3 and LuFeO3 thin films, thereby investigating the impact of compressive lattice strain on the magnetically active Dy3+ and magnetically inactive Lu3+ compared to uniaxially strained single-crystal DyFeO3. The DyFeO3 films exhibits a shift of more than 20 K in spin-reorientation temperatures, maintain the antiferromagnetic Γ4 phase of the Fe lattice below the spin reorientation, and show double-step hysteresis loops for both in-plane directions between 5 and 390 K. This is the signature of an Fe-spin-induced ferromagnetic Dy3+ lattice above the Néel temperature of the Dy. The observed shift in the film spin reorientation temperatures vs lattice strain is in good agreement with isostatic single-crystal neutron diffraction experiments with a rate of 2 K/kbar.

期刊介绍：
Physical Review Materials is a new broad-scope international journal for the multidisciplinary community engaged in research on materials. It is intended to fill a gap in the family of existing Physical Review journals that publish materials research. This field has grown rapidly in recent years and is increasingly being carried out in a way that transcends conventional subject boundaries. The journal was created to provide a common publication and reference source to the expanding community of physicists, materials scientists, chemists, engineers, and researchers in related disciplines that carry out high-quality original research in materials. It will share the same commitment to the high quality expected of all APS publications.
