Abstract
We observed enhanced magnetization in epitaxial SrRuO3 thin films compared to previously reported bulk and thin film values. The enhancement is strongly dependent on the orientation of the lattice distortions imposed by (001), (110), and (111) oriented SrTiO3 substrates. A larger magnetization enhancement for coherently strained SrRuO3 films on (111) and (110) oriented SrTiO3 compared to films on (001) SrTiO3 confirms the importance of the strain state in determining the magnetic ground state of the Ru ion. Moreover, SrRuO3 films on (111) SrTiO3 exhibit enhanced moments as high as 3.4 μB/Ru ion, suggesting the stabilization of a high-spin Ru4+ state.
