A composition of matter consisting primarily of a stabilizing element and a transition metal oxide, wherein the transition metal oxide is an anti-ferromagnetic Mott insulator with strong spin orbit interactions, and the composition of matter has a canted crystal structure.
A method for electrical-current control of structural and physical properties of a material, the method comprising:
- applying current along a first dimension of the material, wherein the material consists of a stabilizing element and a transition metal oxide, wherein the transition metal oxide is an anti-ferromagnetic Mott insulator with strong spin orbit interactions, and the composition of matter has a canted crystal structure;
- and
- wherein applying current along a first dimension of the material results in a change in size and resistivity of the material along a second dimension.
