Atomic diffusion at nanometer length scale may differ significantly from bulk diffusion, and may sometimes even exhibit counterintuitive behavior. In the present work, taking Cu/Ni as a model system, a general phenomenon is reported which…

We present the synthesis and study of the magnetic and electronic properties of NiFe2O4/{\gamma}-Al2O3/SrTiO3 heterostructure. The {\gamma}-Al2O3/SrTiO3 interface hosts a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with large…

Initially identified as a promising altermagnetic (AM) candidate, rutile RuO$_2$ has since become embroiled in controversy due to contradictory findings of modeling and measurements of the magnetic properties of bulk crystals and thin…

Ferrites with (inverse) spinel structure display a large variety of electronic and magnetic properties making some of them interesting for potential applications in spintronics. We investigate the thermally induced interdiffusion of…

The structure, morphology, and electrical properties of epitaxial a-axis oriented thin films of Nd(0.2)Sr(0.8)MnO(3) are reported for thicknesses 10 nm <= t <= 150 nm. Films were grown with both tensile and compressive strain on various…

We present a comprehensive first-principles study of the electronic charge redistribution in atomically sharp LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$(001) heterointerfaces of both n- and p-types allowing for non-stoichiometric composition. Using two different…

Antiferromagnetic materials are of great interest for spintronics. Here we present a comprehensive study of the growth, structural characterization, and resulting magnetic properties of thin films of the non-collinear antiferromagnet…

Exchange bias-like effect observed in the intermetallic compound TbFeAl, which displays a magnetic phase transition at $T^h_c \approx$ 198~K and a second one at $T^l_c \approx$ 154~K, is reported. {\em Jump}-like features are observed in…

The formation of a novel surface reconstruction upon Co deposition on freshly cleaved Ge(111)2x1 surfaces is studied by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at low temperature. The deposited Co atoms are immobile at substrate…

The presence of 2D electron gases at surfaces or interfaces in oxide thin films remains a hot topic in condensed matter physics. In particular, BaBiO3 appears as a very interesting system as it was theoretically proposed that its (001)…

We report on the functionalization of multiferroic BiFeO3 epitaxial films for spintronics. A first example is provided by the use of ultrathin layers of BiFeO3 as tunnel barriers in magnetic tunnel junctions with La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 and Co…

We report the presence of giant spontaneous exchange bias (HSEB) in a hard and soft antiferromagnetic composite of BiFeO3-TbMnO3 (BFO-TMO in 7:3 and 8:2 ratio). The HSEB varies between 5-778Oe, but persists up to room temperature with a…

Bulk NdNiO_3 and thin films grown along the pseudocubic (001)_pc axis display a 1st order metal to insulator transition (MIT) together with a N\'eel transition at T=200K. Here, we show that for NdNiO3 films deposited on (111)_pc NdGaO_3 the…

Bulk specimens of the hetaerolite solid solution Zn$_x$Mn$_{3-x}$O$_4$, with $x$ = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 have been prepared as homogeneous, phase-pure polycrystalline samples as ascertained by neutron diffraction measurements. Samples…

Temperature evolution of dielectric response, atomic structure, and lattice dynamics in thin film of sodium niobate in the epitaxial NaNbO$_3$/SrRuO$_3$/(001)MgO heterostructure is studied by dielectric measurements, x-ray diffraction, and…

Given the importance of incorporating various superconducting materials to device fabrication or substrate development, studying the interface for possible interactions is warranted. In this work, NbN films sputter-deposited on 4H-SiC were…

Exchange bias stems from the interaction between different magnetic phases and therefore it generally occurs in magnetic multilayers. Here we present a large exchange bias in a single SrRuO3 layer induced by helium ion irradiation. When the…

Using ab-initio calculations within the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT), atomic structures and electronic properties of MoS2/HfO2 interface are investigated. The impact of interfacial oxygen concentration on the MoS2/HfO2…

Ferrimagnets have received renewed attention as a promising platform for spintronic applications. Of particular interest is the Mn4N from the ${\epsilon}$-phase of the manganese nitride as an emergent rare-earth-free spintronic material due…

Unconventional superconductivity has been suggested to be present at the interface between bismuth and nickel in thin-film bilayers. In this work, we study the structural, magnetic and superconducting properties of sputter deposited Bi/Ni…
