The local environment and oxidation state of Mn impurity in strontium titanate doped with 3% Mn were studied by X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. The influence of the preparation conditions on the incorporation of the impurity…
Pyrochlore systems are ideally suited to the exploration of geometrical frustration in three dimensions, and their rich phenomenology encompasses topological order and fractional excitations. Classical spin ices provide the first context in…
Motivated by recent spin- and angular-resolved photoemission (SARPES) measurements performed on the two-dimensional electronic states confined near the (001) surface of SrTiO$_3$ in the presence of oxygen vacancies, we explore their spin…
Two-dimensional structures that exhibit intriguing magnetic phenomena such as perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and switchable magnetization are of great interests in spintronics research. Herein, the density-functional theory studies…
Mn-doped SrTiO_3.0, when synthesized free of impurities, is a paramagnetic insulator with interesting dielectric properties. Since delocalized charge carriers are known to promote ferromagnetism in a large number of systems via diverse…
The current challenge to realizing continuously tunable magnetism lies in our inability to systematically change properties such as valence, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom as well as crystallographic geometry. Here, we demonstrate…
We studied the electronic properties of beta-platinum dioxide ({\beta}-PtO2), a catalytic material, based on density functional theory. Using the GGA+U method which reproduces the GW band structures and the experimental structural…
Thermodynamic, structural and electronic properties of isolated copper and iron atoms as well as their complexes with oxygen vacancies in tetragonal lead titanate are investigated by means of first principles calculations. Both dopants…
A localized description, rather than energy bands, is appropriate for the manganite substrate. Empty substrate levels lower in energy than occupied oxygen levels indicate need for further terms beyond the Local Density Approximation. So…
In tin dioxide nanostructures, oxygen vacancies (OVs) play an important role in their optical properties and thus regulation of both OV concentration and type via external strain is crucial to exploration of more applications.…
We present a study of the local strain effects associated with vacancy defects in strontium titanate and report the first calculations of elastic dipole tensors and chemical strains for point defects in perovskites. The combination of local…
Combination of electric fields and Joule self-heating is used to change the oxygen stoichiometry and promote oxygen vacancy drift in a free-standing $\mathrm{(La,Sr)MnO_3}$ thin film microbridge placed in controlled atmosphere. By…
We show that the Bloch states in the conduction band of SrTiO$_3$ arise from the interplay between highly anisotropic hopping in sub-bands derived from the Ti $t_{2g}$ orbitals and spin-orbit coupling that mixes these orbitals. Because of…
In this work we study the electronic structure and magnetism of a TiO2 film grown on another non-magnetic oxide such as a LaAlO3 (001) substrate, concentrating on the role played by structural relaxation and oxygen vacancies. Using Density…
In metal/oxide heterostructures, rich chemical, electronic, magnetic and mechanical properties can emerge from interfacial chemistry and structure. The possibility to dynamically control interface characteristics with an electric field…
Reports of emergent conductivity, superconductivity, and magnetism at oxide interfaces have helped to fuel intense interest in their rich physics and technological potential. Here we employ magnetic force microscopy to search for…
Optical control of structure-driven magnetic order offers a platform for magneto-optical terahertz devices. We control the magnetic phases of $d^1$ Mott insulating titanates using nonlinear phononics to transiently perturb the atomic…
The ability to generate a change of the lattice parameter in a near-surface layer of a controllable thickness by ion implantation of strontium titanate is reported here using low energy He+ ions. The induced strain follows a distribution…
The stoichiometric antiferromagnetic insulator EuTiO$_3$ is proximate to a ferroelectric phase. Whereas cation substitution has been used as a tuning parameter to introduce charge carriers and manipulate the magnetism, the effects of…
