Abstract

Interfaces between complex oxides can exhibit diverse emergent phenomena, such as magnetic and superconducting order. Here, the authors evidence the emergence of nanoislands with a thickness dependent transition from superparamagnetic to ferromagnetic behaviour at LaMnO3/SrTiO3thin film interfaces.
