The two dimensional conducting interfaces in SrTiO$_3$-based systems are known to show a variety of coexisting and competing phenomena in a complex phase space. Magnetoresistance measurements, which are typically used to extract information…
A recent muon spin rotation ($\mu^+$SR) study on a paramagnetic defect complex formed upon implantation of $\mu^+$ pseudo-proton into SrTiO$_3$ is reviewed with a specific focus on the relation with experimental signatures of coexisting…
A hydrogen-like atom consisting of a positive muon and an electron is known as muonium. It is a near-ideal two-body system for a precision test of bound-state theory and fundamental symmetries. The MuSEUM collaboration performed a new…
Strontium titanate (SrTiO$_3$) is a foundational material in the emerging field of complex oxide electronics. While its electronic and optical properties have been studied for decades, SrTiO$_3$ has recently become a renewed materials…
We build a theoretical model for the electronic properties of the two-dimensional (2D) electron gas that forms at the interface between insulating SrTiO$_3$ and a number of polar cap layers, including LaTiO$_3$, LaAlO$_3$, and GdTiO$_3$.…
A metallic surface is realized on stoichiometric and insulating (100) SrTiO$_3$ by Ar$^+$ - ion irradiation. The sheet carrier density and Hall mobility of the layer are $\sim$$4.0$ $\times$ $10^{14}$ $/cm^2$ and $\sim$$2$ $\times$ $10^3$…
In positive muon spin rotation and relaxation ($\mu^+$SR) spectroscopy, positive muons ($\mu^+$) implanted into solid oxides are conventionally treated as immobile spin-probes at interstitial sites below room temperature. This is because…
Transport properties of SrTiO$_3$-channel field-effect transistors with parylene organic gate insulator have been investigated. By applying gate voltage, the sheet resistance falls below $R_{\Box}$ $\sim$ 10 k$\Omega$ at low temperatures,…
We present measurements of the infrared response of the quasi-one-dimensional organic conductor (TMTSF)2$SO3 along (E||a) and perpendicular (E||b') to the stacking axis as a function of temperature. Above the metal-insulator transition…
Excited configurations of hydrogen in the oxyhydride BaTiO$_{3-x}$H$_x$ ($x=0.1-0.5$), which are considered to be involved in its hydrogen transport and exchange processes, were investigated by positive muon spin relaxation ($\mu^+$SR)…
The interface superconductivity in LaAlO$_{3}$-SrTiO$_{3}$ heterostructures reveals a non-monotonic behavior of the critical temperature as a function of the two-dimensional density of charge carriers. We develop a theoretical description…
A low-emittance, high-intensity atomic beam of muonium ($\mathrm{M}=\mu^+ + \mathrm{e}^-$) using superfluid helium as muon-to-muonium converter is being developed at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). This beam could advance laser…
SrTiO$_{3}$ is one of the most popular insulating single-crystal substrates for various complex-oxide thin film growths, because of its good lattice match with many complex oxide films. Here, we show that a common thin film processing…
This study of highly accelerated lifetime tests of SrTiO$_3$, a model semiconducting oxide, is motivated by the interest in reliable multilayer ceramic capacitors and resistance-switching thin-film devices. Our analytical solution to…
Recent experiments on electron- or hole-doped SrTiO$_{3}$ have revealed a hitherto unknown form of superconductivity, where the Fermi energy of the paired electrons is much lower than the energies of the bosonic excitations thought to be…
The tetragonal domain structure in SrTiO$_{3}$ (STO) is known to modulate the normal-state carrier density in LaAlO$_{3}$/SrTiO$_{3}$ (LAO/STO) heterostructures, among other electronic properties, but the effect of STO domains on the…
The irradiation of SrTiO$_3$ single crystals with swift heavy ions leads to modifications of the surface. The details of the morphology of these modifications depends strongly on the angle of incidence and can be characterized by atomic…
Modulation of the grain boundary properties in thermoelectric materials that have thermally activated electrical conductivity is crucial in order to achieve high performance at low temperatures. In this work, we show directly that the…
The superconducting current has been observed in mesa-heterostructures Nb/Au/Sr2IrO4/YBa2Cu3Ox with Sr2IrO4 interlayer thickness d=5 and 7 nm and in-plane sizes L=10-50 mcm. A strontium iridate, Sr2IrO4, is known as a canted…
We report on the local electronic structure of interstitial muon (Mu) as pseudo-hydrogen in In-Ga-Zn oxide (IGZO) semiconductor studied by muon spin rotation/relaxation ($\mu$SR) experiment. In polycrystalline (c-) IGZO, it is inferred that…
