We show that single-crystalline Sr3Ru2O7 grown by a floating-zone technique is an isotropic paramagnet and a quasi-two dimensional metal as spin-triplet superconducting Sr2RuO4 is. The ground state is Fermi liquid with very low residual…

The 3d electronic structure and phase transition in pure and Cr doped V2O3 are theoretically investigated in relation to the 3d spin-orbit interaction and lattice distortion. A model consisting of the nearest-neighbor V ion pair with full…

We investigate the effects of strain on superconductivity with particular reference to SrTiO$_3$. Assuming that a ferroelectric mode that softens under tensile strain is responsible for the coupling, an increase in the critical temperature…

A complete solid solution series between the t2g^4 perovskite ferromagnet SrRuO3 and the diamagnetic t2g^6 perovskite LaRhO3 has been prepared. The evolution with composition x in (SrRuO3)(1-x)(LaRhO3)(x) of the crystal structure and…

By means of first-principles electronic structure calculations, we hereby investigate the structural transitions induced by epitaxial strain in (111)-oriented (LaMnO$_3$)$_{2n}|$(SrMnO$_3$)$_n$ superlattices, with $n=2,4,6$. All…

In half-doped Pr0.50A0.50CoO3 metallic perovskites, the spin-lattice coupling brings about distinct magnetostructural transitions for A=Ca and A=Sr at temperatures close to 100 K. However, the ground magnetic properties of Pr0.50Sr0.50CoO3…

The tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural phase transition (SPT) in LaFeAsO (La-1111) and SmFeAsO (Sm-1111) single crystals measured by high resolution x-ray diffraction is found to be sharp while the RFeAsO (R=La, Nd, Pr, Sm)…

The intertwined charge, spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom could endow 5d compounds with exotic properties. Current interest is focused on electromagnetic interactions in these materials, whereas the important role of lattice…

The perovskite ruthenates (ARuO3, A = Ca, Ba, or Sr) exhibit unique properties owing to a subtle interplay of crystal structure and electronic-spin degrees of freedom. Here, we demonstrate an intriguing continuous tuning of crystal symmetry…

Transition-metal perovskite oxides exhibit moderately correlated metallic phases, several of which exhibit a $T^2$ resistivity scaling up to temperatures far exceeding the regime where Fermi-liquid electron-electron scattering is expected…

We show that the $t_{2g}^2$ perovskite LaVO$_3$, in its orthorhombic phase, is a rare case of a system hosting an orbital-ordering Kugel-Khomskii phase transition, rather than being controlled by the Coulomb-enhanced crystal-field…

The interplay of electronic and structural degrees of freedom is a prominent feature of many quantum materials and of particular interest in systems with strong ferroelectric fluctuations, such as SrTiO$_3$ (STO) and KTaO$_3$ (KTO). Both…

The ability to control the structure of a crystalline solid on ultrafast timescales bears enormous potential for information storage and manipulation or generating new functional states of matter [1]. In many materials where the ultrafast…

RuO$_{2}$ has been proposed as the prototypical altermagnetic material. However, several reports have recently questioned its intrinsic magnetic ordering, leading to conflicting findings, especially in thin film heterostructures pointing to…

We investigate the temperature evolution of the structural parameters of potential ferrotoroidic LiFeSi2O6 compound across structural and magnetic phase transitions. The structural transition (TS)is around 220K and the paramagnetic to…

Novel interplay of spin-orbit coupling and electron correlations in complex Ir oxides recently emerged as a new paradigm for correlated electron physics. Because of a large spin-orbit coupling of ~0.5 eV, which is comparable to the transfer…

Resonant x-ray scattering at the Dy $M_5$ and Ni $L_3$ absorption edges was used to probe the temperature and magnetic field dependence of magnetic order in epitaxial LaNiO$_3$-DyScO$_3$ superlattices. For superlattices with 2 unit cell…

We report the \QTR{it}{pinned/biased} \QTR{it}{moment} in the superlattices consisting of ferromagnetic (FM) SrRuO$_3$ and antiferromgnetic (AFM) SrMnO$_3$. This superlattice system shows anisotropy and oriented pinning/biasing in the…

Mechanical strain presents an effective control over symmetry-breaking phase transitions. In quantum paralelectric SrTiO3, strain can induce the ferroelectric transition via modification of local Ti potential landscape. However, brittle…

CaRuO_3 is perovskite with an orthorhombic distortion and is believed to be close to magnetic ordering. Magnetic studies of single crystal and polycrystalline CaRu_{1-x}Cu_xO_3 (0\le x \le 15 at.%Cu) reveal that spin-glass-like transition…
