A topological superconductor, characterized by either a chiral order parameter or a chiral topological surface state in proximity to bulk superconductivity, is foundational to topological quantum computing. As in other topological phases of…
The interplay between electrostatic interactions and orientational correlations is studied for a model system of charged rods positioned on a chain, using Monte Carlo simulation techniques. It is shown that the coupling brings about the…
We present a study of the synthesis of epitaxial V$_2$O$_3$ films on $c$-plane Al$_2$O$_3$ substrates by reactive dc-magnetron sputtering. The results reveal a temperature window, at substantially lower values than previously reported,…
Infrared spectroscopy has emerged as a premier experimental technique to probe enigmatic effects arising from strong correlations in solids. Here we report on recent advances in this area focusing on common patterns in correlated electron…
New calculations for vanadium dioxide, one of the most controversely discussed materials for decades, reveal that band theory as based on density functional theory is well capable of correctly describing the electronic and magnetic…
We report in-situ Raman scattering studies of electrochemically top gated VO$_2$ thin film to address metal-insulator transition (MIT) under gating. The room temperature monoclinic insulating phase goes to metallic state at a gate voltage…
Electronic charge order is a symmetry breaking state in high-$T_\mathrm{c}$ cuprate superconductors. In scanning tunneling microscopy, the detected charge-order-induced modulation is an electronic response of the charge order. For an…
Transition metal oxides such as vanadium dioxide (VO$_2$), niobium dioxide (NbO$_2$), and titanium sesquioxide (Ti$_2$O$_3$) are known to undergo a temperature-dependent metal-insulator transition (MIT) in conjunction with a structural…
One of the basic assumptions in organic field-effect transistors, the most fundamental device unit in organic electronics, is that charge transport occurs two-dimensionally in the first few molecular layers near the dielectric interface.…
Photoinduced phase transition (PIPT) is always treated as a coherent process, but ultrafast disordering in PIPT is observed in recent experiments. Utilizing the real-time time-dependent density functional theory (rt-TDDFT) method, here, we…
Epitaxial thin films of (Sn$_{x}$Pb$_{1-x}$)$_{1-y}$In$_{y}$Te were successfully grown by molecular-beam-epitaxy (MBE) in a broad range of compositions (0 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 1, 0 $\leq$ y $\leq$ 0.23). We investigated electronic phases of the…
In this paper we report the observation of curent induced change of resistance of thin metallic oxide films. The resistance changes at a very low current (current density $J \geq 10^{3}$ A/cm$^{2}$). We find that the time dependence…
The shape of 3$d$-orbitals often governs the electronic and magnetic properties of correlated transition metal oxides. In the superconducting cuprates, the planar confinement of the $d_{x^2-y^2}$ orbital dictates the two-dimensional nature…
In quantum materials, charge orders typically stabilize in specific crystallographic orientations, though their formation mechanisms may vary. Here, using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we discover a lattice-decoupled…
The temperature dependence of the local structure of V_2O_3 in the vicinity of the metal to insulator transition (MIT) has been investigated using hard X-ray absorption spectroscopy. It is shown that the vanadium pair distance along the…
Compelling evidence suggests distinct correlated electron behavior may exist only in clean 2D materials such as 1T-TaS2. Unfortunately, experiment and theory suggest that extrinsic disorder in free standing 2D layers disrupts…
The large spin-orbit coupling in iridium oxides plays a significant role in driving novel physical behaviors, including emergent phenomena in the films and heterostructures of perovskite and Ruddlesden-Popper iridates. In this work, we…
VO$_2$ is a unique phase change material with strongly anisotropic electronic properties. Recently, samples have been prepared that present a co-existence of phases and thus form metal-insulator junctions of the same chemical compound.…
We develop in detail a model of the charge order in NbSe$_2$ deriving from a strong electron-phonon coupling dependent on the ingoing and outgoing electron momenta as well as the electronic orbitals scattered between. Including both…
Vanadium dioxide (VO$_2$) is a strongly-correlated material that exhibits insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) near room temperature, which makes it a promising candidate for applications in nanophotonics or optoelectronics. However,…
