Intriguing spin–lattice interactions in EuTiO3

Abstract During the last decade the cubic perovskite oxide EuTiO3 (ETO) has attracted enormous novel research activities due to possible multiferroicity, hidden magnetism far above its Néel temperature at TN = 5.5 K, structural instability at TS = 282 K, possible application as magneto-electric opti...
