Density functional theory calculations indicate that the incorporation of V into Ti lattice positions of rutile TiO2 leads to magnetic V4+ species, but the extension and sign of the coupling between dopant moments confirm that ferromagnetic…
We report the complex magnetic phase diagram and electronic structure of Cr2(Te1-xWx)O6 systems. While compounds with different x values possess the same crystal structure, they display different magnetic structures below and above xc =…
In this work, we study the time- and temperature-dependence of optically induced magnetization in bulk crystals of slightly oxygen-deficient SrTiO$_{3-\delta}$ using an optically coupled SQUID magnetometer. We find that a weak…
Quantum confinement in a thin-film geometry offers viable routes for tuning the critical properties of superconductors through modification of both density of states and pairing interaction. Low-density systems like doped strontium titanate…
Dislocation core chemistry in oxides critically influences mechanical behavior and functionality; yet the evolution of core chemistry during the dislocation motion in them has not been directly observed. Here, using SrTiO3 as a model…
We report a strain-controlled tuning of magnetism in transition-metal-atom-decorated graphene. Our first-principles calculations demonstrate that strain can lead to a sudden change in the magnetic configuration of a transition metal (TM)…
We report the enthalpy of oxygen vacancy formation in thin films of electron-doped SrTiO$_{3}$, under different degrees of epitaxial stress. We demonstrate that both compressive and tensile strain decrease this energy at a very similar…
Strontium titanate (SrTiO3) is widely used as a promising photocatalyst due to its unique band edge alignment with respect to the oxidation and reduction potential corresponding to oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution…
Metallic strontium titanate (SrTiO$_3$) is known to have both normal-state and superconducting properties that vary strongly over a wide range of charge carrier densities. This indicates the importance of nonlinear dynamics, and has…
We have analyzed two mechanisms proposed recently for superconductivity in doped SrTiO3 - the plasmon-mediated pairing and the potential of an instantaneous attraction between two electrons that owes its origin to the exchange by…
Controlling magnetism by using electric fields is a goal of research towards novel spintronic devices and future nano-electronics. For this reason, multiferroic heterostructures attract much interest. Here we provide experimental evidence,…
The dynamics of an F--center created by an oxygen vacancy on the $\mathrm{TiO_{2}(110)}$ rutile surface has been investigated using {\it ab initio} molecular dynamics. These simulations uncover a truly complex, time-dependent behavior of…
Electric double layer transistor configurations have been employed to electrostatically dope single crystals of insulating SrTiO_{3}. Here we report on the results of such doping over broad ranges of temperature and carrier concentration…
Oxygen vacancies play a crucial role in the control of the electronic, magnetic, ionic, and transport properties of functional oxide perovskites. Rare earth nickelates (RENiO$_{3-x}$) have emerged over the years as a rich platform to study…
The electronic and magnetic properties of SrFeO$_{3-\delta}$ single crystals with controlled oxygen content ($0 \leq \delta \leq 0.19$) have been studied systematically by susceptibility, transport and spectroscopic techniques. An intimate…
Recent works suggest that the surface chemistry, in particular, the presence of oxygen vacancies can affect the polarization in a ferroelectric material. This should, in turn, influence the domain ordering driven by the need to screen the…
Oxygen vacancies, especially their distribution, are directly coupled to the electromagnetic properties of oxides and related emergent functionalities that have implication in device applications. Here using a homoepitaxial strontium…
We use density functional theory to calculate the structure, band-gap and magnetic properties of oxygen-deficient SrTi$_{1-x-y}$Fe$_x$Co$_y$O$_{3-\delta}$ with x = y = 0.125 and ${\delta}$ = (0,0.125,0.25). The valence and the high or low…
Possible ferromagnetism induced in otherwise non-magnetic materials has been motivating intense research in complex oxide heterostructures. Here we show that a confined magnetism is realized at the interface between SrTiO3 and two…
The magnetic and electronic properties of strontium titanate with different carbon dopant configurations are explored using first-principles calculations with a generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and the GGA+U approach. Our results…
