We report on the growth of epitaxial bilayers of the La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) half-metallic ferromagnet and the BiFeO3 (BFO) multiferroic, on SrTiO3(001) by pulsed laser deposition. The growth mode of both layers is two-dimensional, which…
The control of chemical exchange across heterointerfaces formed between ultra-thin functional transition-metal oxide layers provides an effective route to manipulate the electronic properties of these systems. We show that cationic exchange…
We demonstrate spatial modification of the optical properties of thin-film metal oxides, zinc oxide and vanadium dioxide as representatives, using a commercial focused ion beam (FIB) system. Using a Ga+ FIB and thermal annealing, we…
Ferromagnetic/metallic manganese perovskites, such as La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO)are promising materials for the design and implementation of novel spintronic devices working at room temperature. However, their implementation in practical…
TmFeO$_3$ (TFO) is a canted antiferromagnet that undergoes a spin reorientation transition (SRT) with temperature between 82 K and 94 K in single crystals. In this temperature region, the N\'eel vector continuously rotates from the…
The transparent and conductive properties of indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films, make them an attractive coating for optically integrated ion traps. However, the relatively low transmittance for wavelengths $<$ 400 nm, high scattering and…
