Using high-throughput automation of ab-initio impurity embedding simulations, we created a database of $3d$ and $4d$ transition metal defects embedded into the prototypical topological insulator (TI) Bi$_2$Te$_3$. We simulate both single…
Topological insulators (TIs) are materials with an insulating bulk characterized by a gapped band structure, along with gapless metallic surface states having a Dirac cone with a helical spin structure in momentum space. The helical…
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…
We report the preparation of high-quality single crystal of Bi$_2$Se$_3$, a well-known topological insulator and its Ti-doped compositions using Bridgeman technique. Prepared single crystals were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) to…
The effect of electron irradiation with the energy of 2.5 MeV on the temperature dependences of the resistivity of an optimally doped $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ single crystal has been studied. The temperature dependences of both fluctuation…
Narrow gap semiconductor Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$Se was investigated for topologically protected surface states in its rock-salt structural phase for x=0.45, 0.23, 0.15, and 0. Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of intrinsically p-doped…
The bilayer Ruddlesden-Popper nickelate $\mathrm{La_3Ni_2O_7}$ has emerged as a promising platform for exploring and understanding high-temperature superconductivities. While most prior doping studies have focused on hole doping via…
Effects of electron doping on the BiS$_2$-based superconductors Sr$_{1-x}$La$_x$FBiS$_2$ ($0\le x\le 0.6$) have been investigated using the systematically synthesized polycrystals. The pristine compound is a band insulator with the BiS$_2$…
The single band, two dimensional Hubbard Hamiltonian has been extensively studied as a model for high temperature superconductivity. While Quantum Monte Carlo simulations within the dynamic cluster approximation are now providing…
Irradiation with 2.5 MeV electrons at doses up to 5.2 $\times$10$^{19}$ electrons/cm$^2$ was used to introduce point-like defects in single crystals of Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ with $x=$ 0.19 ($T_c=$ 14 K), $x=$ 0.26 ($T_c=$ 32 K) and…
$RE$NiO$_3$ is a negative charge transfer energy system and exhibits a temperature-driven metal-insulator transition (MIT), which is also accompanied by a bond disproportionation (BD) transition. In order to explore how hole doping affects…
We report the doping high concentration of tetravalent Ge4+ ions (5 mol % for x = 0.05 to 30 mol % for x = 0.30) at the Fe3+ sites of Fe2-xGexO3 system by chemical coprecipitation route. The charge state of Fe and Ge ions has been modified…
We report controlled formation of sub-100 nm-thin electron channels in SrTiO$_3$ by doping with oxygen vacancies induced by Ar$^+$-ion irradiation. The conducting channels exhibit a consistent high electron mobility (~15,000…
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are likely to dominate next-generation electronics due to their advantages in compactness and low power consumption. However, challenges such as high contact resistance and inefficient doping hinder their…
Oxygen vacancies created in anatase TiO2 by UV photons (80 - 130 eV) provide an effective electron-doping mechanism and induce a hitherto unobserved dispersive metallic state. Angle resolved photoemission (ARPES) reveals that the…
Recent evidence for a charge-Kondo effect in superconducting samples of Pb$_{1-x}$Tl$_x$Te [1] has brought renewed attention to the possibility of negative U superconductivity in this material, associated with valence fluctuations on the Tl…
We have studied the evolution of magnetic and orbital excitations as a function of hole-doping in single crystal samples of Sr2Ir(1-x)Rh(x)O4 (0.07 < x < 0.42) using high resolution Ir L3-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS).…
We use inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectroscopy to study the magnetic excitations spectra throughout the Brioullion zone in electron-doped iron pnictide superconductors BaFe$_{2-x}$Ni$_{x}$As$_{2}$ with $x=0.096,0.15,0.18$. While the…
We measure gate-tuned thermoelectric power of mechanically exfoliated Bi2Se3 thin films in the topological insulator regime. The sign of the thermoelectric power changes across the charge neutrality point as the majority carrier type…
BaBiO3 is a prototype ``charge ordering system'' forming interpenetrating sublattices with nominal valence Bi(3+) and Bi(5+). It can also be regarded as a three-dimensional version of a Peierls insulator, the insulating gap being a…
