While pyrochlore iridate thin films are theoretically predicted to possess a variety of emergent topological properties, experimental verification of these predictions can be obstructed by the challenge in thin film growth. Here we report…
The synthesis of stoichiometric and epitaxial pyrochlore iridate thin films presents significant challenges yet is critical for unlocking experimental access to novel topological and magnetic states. Towards this goal, we unveil an in-situ…
We report on the epitaxial growth, structural and electrical properties of metallic pyrochlore bismuth ruthenate heterostructures grown along both the [001] and [111] directions. Ordered pyrochlore thin films were obtained with highly…
Pyrochlore oxides $A_2B_2$O$_7$ have been a fruitful playground for condensed matter physics because of the unique geometry in the crystal structure. Especially focusing on the $A$-site tetrahedral sub-lattice, in particular, pyrochlore…
Twin photons and triple photons generations require pump laser intensities of several hundred Mega Watts per square centimeter. Micrometer sized crystalline waveguides allow such interactions to be achieved at relatively low energies by…
Alternate stacking of a highly conducting metallic layer with a magnetic triangular layer found in delafossite PdCrO2 provides an excellent platform for discovering intriguing correlated quantum phenomena. Thin film growth of the material…
Recently, Bi2O2Se is discovered as a promising two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor for next generation electronics, due to its moderate bandgap size, high electron mobility and pronounced ambient stability. Meanwhile, it has been predicted…
The subtle balance of electronic correlations, crystal field splitting and spin--orbit coupling in layered Ir$^{4+}$ oxides can give rise to novel electronic and magnetic phases. Experimental progress in this field relies on the synthesis…
It is known that solid-state reaction in high-pressure oxygen can stabilize high-oxidation phases of Y-Ba-Cu-O superconductors in powder form. We extend this superoxygenation concept of synthesis to thin films which, due to their large…
