Ferromagnetic substrate influences the electromagnetic response of a type-II superconducting film to the applied magnetic field. We present a two-dimensional integrodifferential model for the magnetization of a flat…
Signatures of strong coupling effects in cuprate high-$T_{c}$ superconductors have been authenticated through a variety of spectroscopic probes. However, the microscopic nature of relevant excitations has not been agreed upon. Here we…
The application of large magnetic fields ($B \sim B_{c2}$) to layered cuprates suppresses their high temperature superconducting behaviour and reveals competing ground states. In the widely-studied material YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ (YBCO),…
A highly strained BiFeO3 (BFO) thin film is transformed between phases with distinct structures and properties by nanosecond-duration applied electric field pulses. Time-resolved synchrotron x-ray microdiffraction shows that 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…
To distinguish between the effects of strain and magnetism on the superconductivity in $c$-axis La$_{2/3}$Ca$_{1/3}$MnO$_3$/YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (LCMO/YBCO) heterostructures, we study perovskite/YBCO/perovskite thin films using…
In all-oxide ferroelectric (FE) - superconductor (S) bilayers, due to the low carrier concentration of oxides compared to transition metals, the FE interfacial polarization charges induce an accumulation (or depletion) of charge carriers in…
BaPb$_{1-x}$Bi$_x$O$_3$ is a superconductor, with transition temperature $T_c=11$ K, whose parent compound BaBiO$_3$ possess a charge ordering phase and perovskite crystal structure reminiscent of the cuprates. The lack of magnetism…
We investigate the complex relationship between the growth conditions and the structural and transport properties of $\mathrm{Ti_xO_y}$ thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Transport properties ranging from metallicity to…
High-temperature superconductivity is reported in a series of compositionally-complex cuprates with varying degrees of size and spin disorder. Three compositions of Y-site alloyed YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-x}$, i.e., (5Y)BCO, were prepared using…
Ferrimagnetic TbFe or TbFeCo amorphous alloy thin films have been grown by co-evaporation in ultra-high vacuum. They exhibit an out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy up to their Curie temperature with a nucleation and propagation reversal…
Unconventional superconductivity has been suggested to be present at the interface between bismuth and nickel in thin-film bilayers. In this work, we study the structural, magnetic and superconducting properties of sputter deposited Bi/Ni…
The temperature dependence of the superfluid density $\rho_s(T)$ has been measured for a series of ultrathin MBE-grown DyBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ superconducting (SC) films by sub-mm wave interferometry combined with time-domain THz…
The oxygenation process at constant temperature of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) was systematically investigated in the temperature range from 300 $^o$C to 800 $^o$C. With this purpose, fully deoxygenated powder samples was exposed to…
We report a synthetic route to achieve high electron mobility at room temperature in epitaxial La:BaSnO$_3$/SrZrO$_3$ heterostructures prepared on several oxide substrates. Room-temperature mobilities of 157, 145, and 143…
The remarkable discovery of high temperature superconductivity in bulk bilayer nickelates under high pressure has prompted the conjecture that epitaxial compressive strain might mimic essential aspects of hydrostatic pressure. The…
The charge density wave in the high-temperature superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-x}$ (YBCO) is now known to have two different ordering tendencies differentiated by their $c$-axis correlations. These correspond to ferro- (F-CDW) and…
Epitaxial 200nm BiFe$_{0.95}$Mn$_{0.05}$O$_{3}$ (BFO) film was grown by pulsed laser deposition on (111) oriented SrTiO3 substrate buffered with a 50nm thick SrRuO$_{3}$ electrode. The BFO thin film shows a rhombohedral structure and a…
Through the integration of semiconductors or complex oxides into metal resonators, tunable metamaterials have been achieved by a change of environment using an external stimulus. Metals provide high conductivity to realize a strong resonant…
Bi2O2Se has attracted intensive attention due to its potential in electronics, optoelectronics, as well as ferroelectric applications. Despite that, there have only been a handful of experimental studies based on ultrafast spectroscopy to…
