The interrelation between the epitaxial strain and oxygen deficiency in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3-{\delta} thin films was studied in terms of structural and functional properties. The films with a thickness of 1000{\AA} were prepared using a PLD…

Oxygen packaging in transition metal oxides determines the metal-oxygen hybridization and electronic occupation at metal orbitals. Strontium vanadate (SrVO$_3$), having a single electron in a $3d$ orbital, is thought to be the simplest…

The recent discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ under ambient-pressure in strained thin films raises the question of how superconductivity can be optimized through strain. In this work, we investigate the…

Fiber optical strain sensors are used to measure the strain at a particular sensor position inside the fiber. In order to deduce the strain in the surrounding matrix material, one can employ the strain transfer principle. Its application is…

Structural strain severely impacts material properties such as the linear and non-linear optical response. Moreover, strain plays a key role, e.g., in the physics of ferroelectrics and in particular of their domain walls. $\mu$-Raman…

The 5$d$ series semimetallic Dirac nodal-line perovskite SrIrO$_3$ presents a promising system to study the interplay between spin-orbit coupling and electron-electron interactions in the epitaxial thin film geometry. The competition…

Electrical transport in oxide thin films under high pressure remains largely unexplored due to the lack of a universal experimental strategy. Here we develop an approach that enables high-pressure transport measurements in freestanding…

Strain can efficiently modulate the bandgap and carrier mobilities in two-dimensional (2D) materials. Conventional mechanical strain-application methodologies that rely on flexible, patterned or nano-indented substrates are severely limited…

Since the discovery of two-dimensional (2D) electron gas in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface, 2D carrier gases in perovskite oxides have attracted great attention because they can host many important phenomena and may produce novel functional…

Inhomogeneous strain may develop in hybrid organic metal-halide perovskite thin films due to thermal expansion mismatch with a fabrication substrate, polycrystallinity or even light soaking. Measuring these spatially varying strains is…

Topological phonon states in crystalline materials have attracted significant research interests due to their importance for fundamental physical phenomena, yet their implication on phonon thermal transport remains largely unexplored. Here,…

Strain engineering offers unique control to manipulate the electronic band structure of two-dimensional materials (2DMs) resulting in an effective and continuous tuning of the physical properties. Ad-hoc straining 2D materials has…

Ferroelectric materials are a class of dielectrics that exhibit spontaneous polarization which can be reversed under an external electric field. The emergence of ferroelectric order in incipient ferroelectrics is a topic of considerable…

Monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides have shown that uniaxial strain changes both the photoluminescence emission energy and intensity. The changes are attributed to the band-structure evolution under tensile strain where both the…

The double perovskite La2NiMnO6 (LNMO) exhibits complex magnetism due to the competition of magnetic interactions that are strongly affected by structural and magnetic inhomogeneities. In this work, we study the effect of oxygen annealing…

Using equilibrium and non-equilibrium molecular dynamic (MD) simulations, we found that engineering the strain on the graphene planes forming a channel can drastically change the interfacial friction of water transport through it. There is…
