Novel phenomena appear when two different oxide materials are combined together to form an interface. For example, at the interface of LaAlO 3 /SrTiO 3 , two-dimensional conductive states form to avoid the polar discontinuity, and magnetic properties are found at such an interface. In this work, we propose a new type of interface between two nonmagnetic and nonpolar oxides that could host a magnetic state, where it is the ferroelectric polarization discontinuity instead of the polar discontinuity that leads to the charge transfer, forming the interfacial magnetic state. As a concrete example, we investigate by first-principles calculations the heterostructures made of ferroelectric perovskite oxide PbTiO 3 and nonferroelectric polarized oxide TiO 2 . We show that charge is transferred to the interfacial layer forming an interfacial ferromagnetic ordering that may persist up to room temperature. Especially, the strong coupling between bulk ferroelectric polarization and interface ferromagnetism represents a new type of magnetoelectric effect, which provides an ideal platform for exploring the intriguing interfacial multiferroics. The findings here are important not only for fundamental science but also for promising applications in nanoscale electronics and spintronics.
