Abstract
An artificial structure composed of antiferroelectric NdMnO3, SrMnO3, and LaMnO3 layers exhibits high dielectric permittivity. It also shows ferromagnetic behavior despite that the layers are all antiferromagnetic. The structure displays frequency-dependent relaxor behavior under AC electric field and the permittivity increased up to 70% by an external magnetic field. Inhomogeneous polar nano-regions occur at the interfaces inside the structure and it originates from Mn3+/Mn4+, which induces ferroelectric/ferromagnetic properties in the structure and causes ferroelectric relaxor as well as magnetic-field induced behavior.
