We show that scanning gate microscopy can be used for probing electron-electron interactions inside a nanostructure. We assume a simple model made of two non-interacting strips attached to an interacting nanosystem. In one of the strips,…
We report measurements of the gate-bias dependent band alignment, especially the confining potential profile, at the conducting LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (001) heterointerface using soft and hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Depth-profiling…
Controlling the coupling between localized spins and itinerant electrons can lead to exotic magnetic states. A novel system featuring local magnetic moments and extended 2D electrons is the interface between LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. The magnetism…
The ferroelectric domain pattern within lithographically defined PbTiO3/SrTiO3 ferroelectric/dielectric heteroepitaxial superlattice nanostructures is strongly influenced by the edges of the structures. Synchrotron x-ray nanobeam…
Research into electronic nanomaterials has recently seen a growing focus into the synthesis of structures with unconventional curved geometries including bent wires in planar systems and three-dimensional architectures obtained by rolling…
We investigate the structural, electronic, transport, and thermoelectric properties of LaNiO$_3$/SrTiO$_3(001)$ superlattices containing either exclusively $n$- or $p$-type interfaces or coupled interfaces of opposite polarity by using…
Topologically-engineered mechanical frames are important model constructs for architecture, machine mechanisms, and metamaterials. Despite significant advances in macroscopically fashioned frames, realization and phonon imaging of…
As a result of suppressed phonon conduction, large improvements of the thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, have been recently reported for nanostructures compared to the raw materials' ZT values. It has also been suggested that low…
In systems where electrons form both dispersive bands and small local spins, we show that changes of the spin configuration can tune the bands through a Lifshitz transition, resulting in a continuous metal-insulator transition associated…
At any metal-carbon nanotube interface there is charge transfer and the induced interfacial field determines the position of the carbon nanotube band structure relative to the metal Fermi-level. In the case of a single-wall carbon nanotube…
Realizing correlated topological semimetallic phases in bulk transition-metal oxides remains challenging due to rigid lattice symmetry, correlation-induced gap opening, and limited structural tunability. However, complex-oxide thin films…
The control of Mott phase is intertwined with the spatial reorganization of the electronic states. Out-of-equilibrium driving forces typically lead to electronic patterns that are absent at equilibrium, whose nature is however often…
A major challenge for plasmonics as an enabling technology for quantum information processing is the realization of active spatio-temporal control of light on the nanoscale. The use of phase-shaped pulses or beams enforces specific…
The wave nature of electrons in semiconductor nanostructures results in spatial interference effects similar to those exhibited by coherent light. The presence of spin-orbit coupling renders interference in spin space and in real space…
Rapidly increasing interest in low-dimensional materials is driven by the emerging requirement to develop nanoscale solid-state devices with novel functional properties that are not available in three-dimensional bulk phases. Among the…
The interface between the band gap insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 is known to host a highly mobile two-dimensional electron gas. Here we report on the fabrication and characterization of the NdGaO3/SrTiO3 interface, that shares with…
We report on the fabrication of nano-devices on the \hkl[-1 0 1] surface of a Weyl semimetal, a macroscopic crystal of TaAs, and low-temperature transport measurements. We can implement electron beam lithography by peeling off and…
Thin films of the correlated transition-metal oxide LaNiO$_3$ undergo a metal-insulator transition when their thickness is reduced to a few unit cells. Here, we use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to study the evolution of the…
Heterostructure engineering provides an efficient way to obtain several unconventional phases of LaNiO3, which is otherwise paramagnetic, metallic in bulk form. In this work, a new class of short periodic superlattices, consisting of LaNiO3…
Nanoscale lithography on La$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_{3}$ (LSMO) thin film surfaces has been performed by scanning tunneling microscopy under ambient conditions. From line-etching experiments we found that the line depth is increasing in a…
