Single phase and strained LuMnO₃ thin films are discovered to display coexisting ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic orders. A large moment ferromagnetism (≈1μB), which is absent in bulk samples, is shown to display a magnetic moment distribution that is peaked at the highly strained substrate-film interface. We further show that the strain-induced ferromagnetism and the...

Recently, spatial networks have attracted much attention. The spatial network is constructed from a regular lattice by adding long-range edges (shortcuts) with probability P(r)∼r−δ, where r is the geographical distance between the two ends of the edge. Also, a cost constraint on the total length of the additional edges is introduced...
