The surface composition of polycrystalline niobium-doped strontium titanate (SrTiO3 : Nb) is studied using X-ray photoelectron emission microscopy (XPEEM) for many grain orientations in order to characterise the surface chemistry with high…

Manipulating oxygen vacancies in strongly correlated rare-earth nickelate perovskites (RNiO$_3$) enables the tuning of their elusive metal-insulator transition (MIT), providing a better handle for control over their electronic properties.…

We study how strain affects orbital ordering and magnetism at the interface between SrMnO$_3$ and LaMnO$_3$ from density-functional calculations and interpret the basic results in terms of a three-site Mn-O-Mn model. Magnetic interaction…

The surface reconstruction of SrTiO$_3$(110) is studied with scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The reversible phase transition between (4$\times$1) and (5$\times$1) is controlled by adjusting…

Antiphase domain boundaries (APDBs) in the ($n \times 1$)($n=4,5$) reconstructions of the SrTiO$_3$(110) surface were studied with scanning tunneling microscopy, x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT)…

Dilute superconductivity survives in bulk strontium titanate when the Fermi temperature falls well below the Debye temperature. Here, we show that the onset of the superconducting dome is dopant-dependent. When mobile electrons are…

The roles of oxygen vacancies on the electronic and magnetic properties of Ni doped In$_2$O$_3$ have been studied by first-principles calculations based on hybrid functional theory. Our results predict that the Ni-doped In$_2$O$_3$ system…

Surface doping of ZnO allows for tailoring the surface chemistry of the material while preserving the superb electronic structure of the bulk. Apart from obvious changes in adsorption energies and activation energies for catalysis, surface…

The effect of a variety of intrinsic defects and defect clusters in bulk and thin films of SrTiO$_3$ on ferroelectric polarization and switching mechanism is investigated by means of density-functional-theory (DFT) based calculations and…

Topological insulator (TI) surface states exert strong spin-orbit torques. When the magnetization is in the plane its interaction with the TI conduction electrons is non-trivial, and is influenced by extrinsic spin-orbit scattering. This is…

Oxygen greatly affects the mechanical properties of titanium. In addition, dislocations and twin boundaries influence the plastics deformation of hcp metals. As part of a systematic study of defects interactions in Ti, we investigate the…

We present a spatial and wave-vector resolved study of the electronic structure of micron sized ferroelectric domains at the surface of a BaTiO3(001) single crystal. The n-type doping of the BaTiO3 is controlled by in-situ vacuum and oxygen…

We perform first-principles calculations of the quasiparticle defect states, charge transition levels, and formation energies of oxygen vacancies in rutile titanium dioxide. The calculations are done within the recently developed combined…

By varying the gate and substrate voltage in a short silicon-on-insulator trigate field effect transistor we control the ionization state of three arsenic donors. We obtain a good quantitative agreement between 3D electrostatic simulation…

Layered Sr0.35CoO2 has been synthesized by means of an ion exchange reaction from Na0.7CoO2. Resistivity measurements show that this material can be either metallic or semiconducting depending on the annealing conditions. Magnetic…

Density functional theory (DFT) and DFT corrected for on-site Coulomb interactions (DFT+U) calculations are presented on Aluminium doping in bulk TiO$_2$ and the anatase (101) surface. Particular attention is paid to the mobility of oxygen…

Realistic oxide materials are often semiconductors, in particular at elevated temperatures, and their surfaces contain undercoordiated atoms at structural defects such as steps and corners. Using hybrid density-functional theory and ab…

We report the thermoelectric properties (Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity, and electrical resistivity) of lightly doped single crystals of (001)-oriented SrTiO3 (STO). Hall effect measurements show that electron doping around 10^-5…

In this paper we study the possible relation between the electronic and magnetic structure of the TiO2/LaAlO3 interface and the unexpected magnetism found in undoped TiO2 films grown on LaAlO$_3$. We concentrate on the role played by…

The cubic perovsike strontium titanate SrTiO$_3$ (STO) is one of the most studied, polarizable transition metal oxides. When excess charge is introduced to this material, e.g., through doping or atomic defects, STO tends to host polarons:…
