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…

Recent advancements in dislocation engineering are reshaping the traditional view towards ceramics being brittle. Here, we use KTaO3 (KTO), a perovskite oxide that is newly discovered with room-temperature bulk plasticity, and demonstrate…

Oxygen vacancies are often attributed to changes in the electronic transport for perovskite oxide materials (ABO$_3$). Here, we use density functional theory (DFT) coupled with non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) to systematically…
