Perovskites are named after their structural resemblance to the mineral calcium titanate perovskite, and are well known for their fascinating properties that can be applied in wide-ranging fields such as solar cells, lighting and catalysis.

Barium titanate belongs to the perovskite group of materials, where a titanium ion resides within an oxygen octahedral cage.

In the study, published in Nature, the researchers subjected the quantum material strontium titanate to short but intense laser beams of a peculiar wavelength and polarization, to induced magnetism.

Strontium titanate, SrTiO3, is a so-called quantum paraelectric.

Using the well-known terbium titanate as an example, the team demonstrated that the method delivers highly reliable results.
