In view of the recent experimental reports of unexpected ferromagnetism in HfO$_{2}$ thin films, we carried out first principles investigations looking for magnetic order possibly brought about by the presence of small concentrations of…

The transport properties, resistance, Hall effect, and low T magnetoresistance for very oxygen overdoped nonsuperconducting Bi2Sr2CuO6+d (Bi2201) thin films are reported. From 20 to 300K, the temperature dependence of the resistance is well…

Although enhanced conductivity at ferroelectric domain boundaries has been found in BiFeO$_3$ films, Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$ films, and hexagonal rare-earth manganite single crystals, the mechanism of the domain wall conductivity is still under…

Interface enhanced superconductivity at two dimensional limit has become one of most intriguing research directions in condensed matter physics. Here, we report the superconducting properties of ultra-thin FeSe films with the thickness of…

We have observed room temperature ferromagnetism (FM) in In$_2$O$_3$ thin films doped with either 5 at.% Mn or Fe, prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at substrate temperatures ranging from 300 to 600$\,^{\circ}{\rm C}$. The…

We present molecular dynamics simulations of a realistic model of an ultrathin film of BaTiO$_3$ sandwiched between short-circuited electrodes to determine and understand effects of film thickness, epitaxial strain and the nature of…

Ultrathin ferroelectric films with out-of-plane polarization and high Curie temperatures are key to miniaturizing electronic devices. Most ferroelectrics employed in devices are proper ferroelectrics, where spontaneous polarization is the…

We present a study of the thickness dependence of magnetism and electrical conductivity in ultra thin La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 films grown on SrTiO3 (110) substrates. We found a critical thickness of 10 unit cells below which the conductivity of…

The ferromagnetic quantum phase transition in the perovskite ruthenate Sr$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$RuO$_3$ is studied by low-temperature magnetization and electrical resistivity measurements on thin films. The films were grown epitaxially on SrTiO$_3$…

Perovskite rhodates are characterized by intermediate strengths of both electronic correlation as well as spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and usually behave as moderately correlated metals. A recent publication (Phys. Rev. B 95, 245121(2017)) on…

Ferromagnetism above room temperature was observed in Cr-doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon films deposited by rf magnetron-sputtering. Structure analysis reveals that films are amorphous without any detectable precipitates up to the…

Due to the strong lattice-property relationships which exist in complex oxide epitaxial layers, their electronic and magnetic properties can be modulated by structural distortions induced at the atomic scale. The modification and control…

We have investigated the effect of electric field control on the magnetization and the transport properties in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO) ultrathin film (~10 nm) by using it as the semiconductor channel material of a prototypical field effect…

To minimize their electrostatic energy, insulating ferroelectric films tend to break up into nanoscale ``Kittel'' domains of opposite polarization that are separated by uncharged 180$^\circ$ domain walls. Here, I report on self-consistent…

Epitaxial strain in transition-metal oxides can induce dramatic changes in electronic and magnetic properties. A recent study on the epitaxially strained SrCoO$_3$ thin films revealed persistent ferromagnetism even across a metal-insulator…

We studied the electronic and magnetic dynamics of ferromagnetic insulating BaFeO3 thin films by using pump-probe time-resolved resonant x-ray reflectivity at the Fe 2p edge. By changing the excitation density, we found two distinctly…

Unlike proper ferroelectricity, the improper ferroelectricity in multiferroic rare-earth manganites h-ReMnO3 (Re=La-Lu,Y,Sc) thin films features a unique geometric distortion and stays immune to the depolarizing field in the ultra-thin…

Mn-doped SrTiO_3.0, when synthesized free of impurities, is a paramagnetic insulator with interesting dielectric properties. Since delocalized charge carriers are known to promote ferromagnetism in a large number of systems via diverse…

LaMnO$_3$ (LMO) thin films epitaxially grown on SrTiO$_3$ (STO) usually exhibit ferromagnetism above a critical layer thickness. We report the use of scanning SQUID microscopy (SSM) to study the suppression of the ferromagnetism in…

Oxygen vacancies (VOs) effects on magnetic ordering in Eu0.5Ba0.5TiO3-{\delta} (EBTO3-{\delta}) thin films have been investigated using a combination of experimental measurements and first-principles density-functional calculations. Two…
