We report on the magnetic and structural properties of ferromagnetic-insulating La$_2$CoMnO$_6$ thin films grown on top of (001) STO substrates by means of RF sputtering technique. Careful structural analysis, by using synchrotron X-ray…
Room-temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) exhibited by nanostructured two-dimensional semiconductors for spintronics applications is a fascinating area of research. The present work reports on the correlation between the electronic structure…
The Metal-Insulator transition (MIT) in VO2 is characterized by the complex interplay among lattice, electronic and orbital degrees of freedom. In this contribution we investigated the strain-modulation of the orbital hierarchy and the…
We study the heat relaxation in current biased metallic films in the regime of strong electron-phonon coupling. A thermal gradient in the direction normal to the film is predicted, with a spatial temperature profile determined by the…
This is a critical review of MAX-phase carbides and nitrides from an electronic-structure and chemical bonding perspective. This large group of nanolaminated materials is of great scientific and technological interest and exhibit a…
Structural disorder has been shown to enhance and modulate magnetic, electrical, dipolar, electrochemical, and mechanical properties of materials. However, the possibility of obtaining novel optical and optoelectronic properties from…
Thin-film colossal magnetoresistance manganites such as La$_{0.67}$Ca$_{0.33}$MnO$_{3}$ (LCMO) have now been intensely studied for more than a decade, but the issue of possible nanoscale electronic phase separation is not fully solved.…
Amorphous boron nitride (\textrm{$\alpha$}-BN) is a promising ultrathin barrier for nanoelectronics, yet the atomistic mechanisms governing its chemical stability remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate the structure-property…

We report on the influence of the chemical composition on the electronic properties of molybdenum oxynitrides thin films grown by reactive sputtering on Si (100) substrates at room temperature. The partial pressure of Ar was fixed at 90 %,…
Although crystalline solids are characterized by their periodic structures, some are only periodic on average and deviate on a local scale. Distinct local orderings can exist with identical periodic structures making their differences…
We discuss instabilities of fluid films of nanoscale thickness, with a particular focus on films where the destabilising mechanism allows for linear instability, metastability, and absolute stability. Our study is motivated by nematic…
The observation of electronic phase separation textures in vanadium dioxide (VO2), a prototypical electron-correlated oxide, has recently added new perspectives on the long standing debate about its metal-insulator transition and its…
