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 nature of the metal insulator transition in thin films and superlattices of LaNiO3 with only few unit cells in thickness remains elusive despite tremendous effort. Quantum confinement and epitaxial strain have been evoked as the…

We measured the temperature dependence of the linear high field Hall resistivity of La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO_3 (T_C=232K) and La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO_3 (T_C=345K) thin films in the temperature range from 4K up to 360K in magnetic fields up to 20T. At…

We investigate the electrical transport in mesoscopic structures of La$_{0.67}$Ca$_{0.33}$MnO$_3$ in the regime of the metal-insulator transition by fabricating microbridges from strained and unstrained thin films. We measure…

Transport in ultrathin films of LaNiO3 evolves from a metallic to a strongly localized character as the film's thickness is reduced and the sheet resistance reaches a value close to h/e2, the quantum of resistance in two dimensions. In the…

We report thickness dependent metal insulator transition in Ga doped ZnO (Ga:ZnO) thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition technique. From the electrical transport measurements, we find that while the thinnest film exhibits a resistivity…

A Mn valence instability on La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 thin films, grown on LaAlO3 (001)substrates is observed by x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Mn L-edge and O K-edge. As-grown samples, in situ annealed at 800 C in oxygen, exhibit a Curie…

The technological conditions of oxygen content variation in epitaxial La0.7Sr0.3MnO3-{\delta} films and the peculiarities of change of their transport characteristics were investigated. The films were grown onto single crystal SrTiO3…

Variable temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy studies on (110) oriented epitaxial thin films of La$_{0.350}$Pr$_{0.275}$Ca$_{0.375}$MnO$_3$ are reported in the temperature range of 77 to 340 K. The films, grown on lattice…

Novel quantum phenomena, including high-temperature superconductivity, topological properties, and charge/spin density waves, appear in low-dimensional conductive materials. It is possible to artificially create low-dimensional systems by…

Magnetic and magnetotransport properties of oriented polycrystalline Pr0.58Ca0.42MnO3 thin films prepared in flowing oxygen and air ambient has been investigated. The magnetic ground state of both the films is a frozen cluster glass. In the…

The Nd0.6Sr0.4MnO3 manganite system exhibits a phase transition from paramagnetic insulating (PMI) to ferromagnetic metallic (FMM) state around its Curie temperature TC = 270 K (bulk). The morphology-driven changes in the kinetically…

Symmetry-lowering structural phase transitions result in multiple degenerate structures whose coexistence is determined by macroscopic strain compatibility. In quantum materials, these structural transformations often couple to electronic…

Thin films of the charge-ordered (CO) compound Pr$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_{3}$ have been deposited onto (100)-oriented SrTiO$_{3}$ substrates using the Pulsed Laser Deposition technique. Magnetization and transport properties are measured…

Magnetotransport properties of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 thin films deposited on (100) LaAlO3 substrate were investigated. The balance between the charge ordered insulating phase and ferromagnetic metallic phase may account for a number of glassy…

The evolution of the structural and transport properties of underdoped La$_{1.952}$Sr$_{0.048}$CuO$_4$ thin films under compressive epitaxial strain has been studied. The films of different thicknesses $d$ (from 26 nm to 120 nm) were…

Epitaxial Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films were prepared on Nb-doped SrTiO3 (100)substrates by the pulsed laser deposition technique, and were studied by measuring the Ti 2p - 3d resonant photoemission spectra in the valence-band region as a…

We have conducted a highly precise doping controlled experiment on a thin film of the single layer cuprate Bi2Sr2-xLaxCuOy (x = 0.6), in order to observe the superconducting insulating transition (SIT). Sr2+/La3+ substitution (x = 0.6)…

Metallic transition-metal oxides undergo a metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) as the film thickness decreases across a ritical thickness of several monolayers (MLs), but its driving mechanism remains controversial. We have studied the…

The correlated electron system SmNiO3 exhibits a metal-insulator phase transition at 130 {\deg}C. Using an ionic liquid as an electric double layer (EDL) gate on three-terminal ultrathin SmNiO3 devices, we investigate gate control of the…
