Ionic substitution is a useful way to manipulate structural, electronic, magnetic phase transitions in strongly correlated materials. Here, the authors report electric-field controlled protonation in SrRuO3, resulting in a large structural expansion and a ferromagnetic-to-paramagnetic phase transition.
