Description
We have grown epitaxial thin-films of the orthorhombic phase of YMnO3 oxide on Nb:SrTiO3(001) substrates and their structure, magnetic and dielectric response have been measured. We have found that a substrate-induced strain produces an in-plane compression of the YMnO3 unit cell. The temperature-dependent magnetization curves display a significant ZFC-FC hysteresis at temperatures below the Neel temperature (TN around 40K). The dielectric constant increases gradually (up to 26%) below TN and mimics the ZFC magnetization curve. We argue that these effects are a manifestation of magnetoelectric coupling in thin films and that the magnetic structure of YMnO3 can be controlled by substrate selection.

    Accretion-induced variability of interacting red giant binaries masquerading as oscillations
    Symbiotic stars are strongly interacting binaries with long orbital periods, containing an evolved red giant and a white dwarf or a neutron star embedded in a circumbinary nebula. They constitute unique astrophysical laboratories important for understanding the binary evolution and diverse processes occurring also in many other types of

    2 Young 2 Furious - Challenges and opportunities in the study of young exoplanets
    Current theories of planetary evolution predict that infant giant planets have large radii and very low densities before they slowly contract to reach their final size after about several hundred million years. These theoretical expectations have remained untested for a long time, as the detection and characterization of very young planets is

    The mysterious globular cluster population of NGC5846-UDG1 (MATLAS-2019)
    The number of globular clusters plays a fundamental role in understanding the early stages of galaxy formation. We know that the GC population of normal galaxies correlates with the amount of dark matter in these objects. Extending this analysis to the number of globulars in very low surface brightness galaxies is therefore key to understanding the
