The possibility to develop neuromorphic computing devices able to mimic the extraordinary data processing capabilities of biological systems spurs the research on memristive systems. Memristors with additional functionalities such as robust memcapacitance can outperform standard devices in key aspects such as power consumption or miniaturization possibilities. In this work, we demonstrate a large memcapacitive response of a perovskite memristive interface, using the topotactic redox ability of La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$Mn$_{0.5}$Co$_{0.5}$O$_{3-delta}$ (LSMCO, 0 $leq$ $delta$ $leq$ 0.62). We demonstrate that the multi-mem behaviour originates at the switchable n-p diode formed at the Nb:SrTiO3/LSMCO interface. We found for our Nb:SrTiO$_{3}$/LSMCO/Pt devices a memcapacitive effect C$_{HIGH}$/C$_{LOW}$ ~ 100 at 150 kHz. The proof-of-concept interface reported here opens a promising venue to use topotactic redox materials for disruptive nanoelectronics, with straightforward applications in neuromorphic computing technology.

We studied the charge-orbital ordering in the superlattice of charge-ordered insulating Pr$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ and ferromagnetic metallic La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ by resonant soft x-ray diffraction. A temperature-dependent incommensurability is found in the orbital order. In addition, a large hysteresis is observed that is caused by phase competition between insulating charge ordered and metallic ferromagnetic states. No magnetic phase transitions are observed in contrast to bulk, confirming the unique character of the superlattice. The deviation from the commensurate orbital order can be directly related to the decrease of ordered-layer thickness that leads to a decoupling of the orbital-ordered planes along the c axis.
A structural transition in an ABO$_{3}$ perovskite thin film involving the change of the BO$_{6}$ octahedral rotation pattern can be hidden under the global lattice symmetry imposed by the substrate and often easily overlooked. We carried out high-re solution x-ray diffraction experiments to investigate the structures of epitaxial Ca$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$IrO$_{3}$ (CSIO) perovskite iridate films grown on the SrTiO$_{3}$ (STO) and GdScO$_{3}$ (GSO) substrates in detail. Although the CSIO/STO film layer displays a global tetragonal lattice symmetry evidenced by the reciprocal space mapping, synchrotron x-ray data indicates that its room temperature structure is monoclinic due to Glazers a$^{+}$a$^{-}$c$^{-}$-type rotation of the IrO$_{6}$ octahedra. In order to accommodate the lower-symmetry structure under the global tetragonal symmetry, the film breaks into four twinned domains, resulting in the splitting of the (half-integer, 0, integer) superlattice reflections. Surprisingly, the splitting of these superlattice reflections decrease with increasing temperature, eventually disappearing at T$_{S}$ = 510(5) K, which signals a structural transition to an orthorhombic phase with a$^{+}$a$^{-}$c$^{0}$ octahedral rotation. In contrast, the CSIO/GSO film displays a stable monoclinic symmetry with a$^{+}$b$^{-}$c$^{-}$ octahedral rotation, showing no structural instability caused by the substrate up to 520 K. Our study illustrates the importance of the symmetry in addition to the lattice mismatch of the substrate in determining the structure of epitaxial thin films.

We have studied a non volatile memory effect in the mixed valent compound La$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_{3}$ induced by magnetic field (H). In a previous work [R.S. Freitas et al., Phys. Rev. B 65 (2002) 104403], it has been shown that the response of thi s system upon application of H strongly depends on the temperature range, related to three well differentiated regimes of phase separation occurring below 220 K. In this work we compare memory capabilities of the compound, determined following two different experimental procedures for applying H, namely zero field cooling and field cooling the sample. These results are analyzed and discussed within the scenario of phase separation.
La$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$CoMn$_{0.5}$Fe$_{0.5}$O$_{6}$ (LSCMFO) compound was prepared by solid state reaction and its structural, electronic and magnetic properties were investigated. The material forms in rhombohedral $Rbar{3}c$ structure, and the presen ce of distinct magnetic interactions leads to the formation of a Griffiths phase above its FM transition temperature (150 K), possibly related to the nucleation of small short-ranged ferromagnetic clusters. At low temperatures, a spin glass-like phase emerges and the system exhibits both the conventional and the spontaneous exchange bias (EB) effects. These results resemble those reported for La$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$CoMnO$_{6}$ but are discrepant to those found when Fe partially substitutes Co in La$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$(Co$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$)MnO$_{6}$, for which the EB effect is observed in a much broader temperature range. The unidirectional anisotropy observed for LSCMFO is discussed and compared with those of resembling double-perovskite compounds, being plausibly explained in terms of its structural and electronic properties.

Reversible topotactic transitions between oxygen-vacancy-ordered structures in transition metal oxides provide a promising strategy for active manipulation of material properties. While transformations between various oxygen-deficient phases have bee n attained in bulk ABO$_{3-delta}$ perovskites, substrate clamping restricts the formation of distinct ordering patterns in epitaxial films. Using in-situ scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), we image a thermally driven reversible transition in La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$CoO$_{3-delta}$ films on SrTiO$_3$ from a multidomain brownmillerite (BM) structure to a uniform phase wherein oxygen vacancies order in every third CoO$_x$ plane. Because temperature cycling is performed over a limited temperature range (25 {deg}C - 385 {deg}C), the oxygen deficiency parameter $delta$ does not vary measurably. Under constant $delta$, the topotactic transition proceeds via local reordering of oxygen vacancies driven by thermal strain. Atomic-resolution imaging reveals a two-step process whereby alternating vertically and horizontally oriented BM domains first scale in size to accommodate the strain induced by different thermal expansions of La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$CoO$_{3-delta}$ and SrTiO$_3$, before the new phase nucleates and quickly grows above 360 {deg}C. Upon cooling, the film transform back to the mixed BM phase. As the structural transition is fully reversible and $delta$ does not change upon temperature cycling, we rule out electron-beam irradiation during STEM as the driving mechanism. Instead, our findings demonstrate that thermal strain can solely drive topotactic phase transitions in perovskite oxide films, presenting opportunities for switchable ionic devices.
