In ABO3 perovskites, oxygen octahedron rotations are common structural distortions that can promote large ferroelectricity in BiFeO3 with an R3c structure [1], but suppress ferroelectricity in CaTiO3 with a Pbnm symmetry [2]. For many…
We report on tunneling measurements that reveal for the first time the evolution of the quasi-particle state density across the bandwidth controlled Mott metal to insulator transition in the rare earth perovskite nickelates. In this, a…
The properties of ferroelectric materials, such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT), are heavily influenced by the interaction of defects with domain walls. These defects are either intrinsic, or are induced by the addition of dopants. We…
Layers of perovskites, found in 3D materials, 2D heterostructures, and nanotubes, often distort from high symmetry to facilitate dipole polarisation that is exploitable in many applications. Using density-functional theory calculations,…
Perovskite bilayers with (111)-orientation combine a honeycomb lattice as a key feature with the strongly correlated, multiorbital nature of electrons in transition metal oxides. In a systematic DFT+$U$ study of (111)-oriented…
Complex oxides are mesmerizing material systems to realize multiple physical properties and functionalities by integrating different elements in a single compound. However, owing to the chemical instability, not all the combinations of…
Two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites are emerging as promising candidates for nano-electronics and optoelectronics. To realize their full potential, it is important to understand the role of those defects that can strongly impact…
We use computational and experimental methods to study d0 ferromagnetism at a charge- imbalanced interface between two perovskites. In SrTiO3/KTaO3 superlattice calculations, the charge imbalance introduces holes in the SrTiO3 layer,…
Intriguingly conducting perovskite interfaces between ordinary band insulators are widely explored, whereas similar interfaces with Mott insulators are still not quite understood. Here we address the (001), (110), and (111) interfaces…
Perovskite oxides exhibit a plethora of exceptional electronic properties, providing the basis for novel concepts of oxide-electronic devices. The interest in these materials is even extended by the remarkable characteristics of their…
The complex perovskite Ba2CoTeO6 (BCTO) has been synthesised, and the crystal structure and magnetic properties have been investigated using a combination of X-ray and neutron powder diffraction, electron microscopy and dielectric,…
Motivated by the experimental synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) perovskite materials, we study the stability of 2D SrTiO$_3$ from first principles. We find that the TiO$_6$ octahedral rotations emerge in 2D SrTiO$_3$ with a rotation angle…
Using first-principles calculations we examine the crystal structures and phase transitions of nitride perovskite LaWN$_3$. Lattice dynamics calculations indicate that the ground-state structure belongs to space group $R3c$. Two competitive…
Formation of charge-density-waves in ordered electronic phases (such as charge-order) is an emergent phenomenon in the perovskite class of correlated oxides. This scenario is visualized to prevail in exotic RNiO3 (R=rare-earth) nickelates…
Perovskite oxide interfaces have attracted tremendous research interest for their fundamental physics and promising all-oxide electronics applications. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we propose a novel surface La interstitial…
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…
The functional properties of transition metal perovskite oxides are known to result from a complex interplay of magnetism, polarization, strain, and stoichiometry. Here, we show that for materials with a cooperative Jahn-Teller distortion,…
We present a systematic first-principles study of the structural and vibrational properties of perovskite-structure EuTiO3. Our calculated phonon spectrum of the high-symmetry cubic structural prototype shows strong M- and R-point…
Atomistic defect engineering through the pulsed laser epitaxy of perovskite transition metal oxides offers facile control of their emergent opto-electromagnetic and energy properties. Among the various perovskite oxides, EuTiO3 exhibits a…
Motivated by recent reports of superconductivity in Sr-doped NdNiO$_2$ films on SrTiO$_3$(001) [Nature (London) 572, 624 (2019)], we explore the role of the polar interface on the structural and electronic properties of…
