To profit of the breadth of multifunctional properties that double perovskites (A2BB’O6) exhibit, it is required to have high control on cation ordering of the B-site. We show that by growing thin films under minor in-plane strain along the (111) direction, cation ordering can be stimulated as a result of the formation of two differently sized and shaped B-sites. Such an approach enables the study of many new ordered double perovskites which have never been made before.
