The 2DEG at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface promises to add a new dimension to emerging electronic devices due to its high tunability. Defects in the form of Oxygen vacancies in titanate surfaces and interfaces, on the other hand, play a key…
Defect engineering has arisen as a promising approach to tune and optimise the adsorptive performance of metal-organic frameworks. However, the balance between enhanced adsorption and structural stability remains an open question. Here both…
Infinite layer nickelates have garnered significant attention due to their potential for high-temperature superconductivity. Despite extensive research, the interplay between oxygen stoichiometry and electronic properties in infinite layer…
Oxygen vacancies in nickelates are known to introduce a variety of emergent phenomena and are considered to significantly affect conductivity. Few studies have examined real-space evidence for oxygen vacancies on the surface, particularly…

Two-dimensional (2D) metallic states induced by oxygen vacancies at oxide surfaces and interfaces provide new opportunities for the development of advanced applications, but the ability to control the behavior of these states is still…
A double-stranded DNA unravels thermally through intermediate denatured bubble segments. Intrinsically, fluctuations ensue at the bubble boundaries from non-equilibrium (NE) energy exchanges with the environment. However, such details gets…
