A self-consistent stochastic model of domain structure formation in a uniaxial ferroelectric, quenched from a high-temperature paraelectric phase to a low-temperature ferroelectric phase, is developed with an account of the applied electric…
We performed time-resolved x-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity measurements on a laser-excited ferromagnetic Fe thin film to simultaneously probe the transient structural and magnetic depth profiles with nanometer spatial and femtosecond…
Ferroelectrics are technologically important, with wide application in micromechanical systems, nonlinear optics, and information storage. Recent discoveries of exotic polarisation textures in these materials, which can strongly influence…
Far-infrared and terahertz spectroscopy of ferroelectric soft and central modes in thin films on substrates is reviewed. In addition to classical displacive proper ferroelectrics, also incipient and relaxor ferroelectrics and multiferroics…
We calculate the pyrocoefficient, static dielectric susceptibility profiles and its thickness dependence of ferroelectric thin films. Also, the temperature dependences of above quantities have been calculated. For the calculations we use…
Intense, few-cycle pulses in the terahertz frequency range have strong potential for schemes of control over vibrational modes in solid-state materials in the electronic ground-state. Here we report an experiment using single cycle…
The emergent behaviors in thin films of a multiaxial ferroelectric due to an electrochemical coupling between the rotating polarization and surface ions are explored within the framework of the 2-4 Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire (LGD)…
Twinning is a common crystallographic phenomenon, which usually occurs in crystals during symmetry-lowering phase transition. Once formed, twin domains play an important role in defining physical properties: for example, twin domains…

We investigated domain kinetics by measuring the polarization switching behaviors of polycrystalline Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_{3}$ films, which are widely used in ferroelectric memory devices. Their switching behaviors at various electric fields and…
Thin films of the superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) were modified by low-energy light-ion irradiation employing collimated or focused He$^+$ beams, and the long-term stability of irradiation-induced defects was investigated.…
Recent advancements in ultrashort and intense X-ray sources have enabled the utilisation of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) as a probing technique for monitoring photoinduced dynamics in molecular systems. To account for dynamic…
A large electric field is typically present in anodic or passive oxide films. Stresses induced by such a large electric field are critical in understanding the breakdown mechanism of thin oxide films and improving their corrosion…
We analyze the influence of the magnetic field generated by the supercurrents (self-field) on the current density distribution by numerical simulations. The thickness of the superconducting film determines the self-field and consequently…
The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in bulk La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ under high hydrostatic pressure and, more recently, biaxial compression in epitaxial thin films has ignited significant interest in understanding the interplay…
This paper describes how to efficiently solve time-dependent x-ray dynamic diffraction problems in distorted crystals with an FFT-based beam propagation method (FFT BPM). We show examples of using the technique to simulate the propagation…

A Ginzburg-Landau model is used to demonstrate how depletion layers give rise to thickness-dependent ferroelectric properties in thin films. It is shown that free charge layers at the film-electrode interface can result in an internal…
We demonstrate the evolution of the micro-patterned magnetic domains in CoPd thin films pretreated with e-beam lithography and O2 plasma. During the days-long oxidation, significantly different behaviors of the patterned magnetic domains…
Thin films are a prerequisite for application of the emergent exotic ground states in iridates that result from the interplay of strong spin-orbit coupling and electronic correlations. We report on pulsed laser deposition of…
