Correlated electrons in transition metal oxides (TMOs) exhibit a variety of emergent phases. When TMOs are confined to a single-atomic-layer thickness, experiments so far have shown that they usually lose diverse properties and become…
When an orbital magnetic field suppresses superconductivity, forming periodic vortices in type-II superconductors, subdominant orders can emerge in the vortex cores. Rather than competing with superconductivity, we find that the emergent…
In strongly correlated electron systems, superconductivity and charge density waves often coexist in close proximity, suggesting a deeper relationship between these competing phases. Recent research indicates that these orders can…
Contrary to traditional approaches, high entropy oxides (HEOs) strategically employ cationic disorder to engineer tunable functionalities. This disorder, stemming from multiple elements at the same crystallographic site, disrupts local…
Quantum states of strongly correlated electrons are of prime importance to understand exotic properties of condensed matter systems and the controllability over those states promises unique electronic devices such as a Mott memory. As a…
Charge ordering accompanied by lattice distortion in quasi-two dimensional organic conductors \theta-(ET)2X (ET=BEDT-TTF) is studied by using an extended Hubbard model with Peierls-type electron-lattice couplings within the Hartree-Fock…
A ferroic alignment of a time-reversal-even axial vector, which is called the ferroaxial ordered state, is identified by the spontaneous rotational distortion of the lattice structure to break the vertical mirror symmetry. We theoretically…
We report that the thermally-induced Mott transition in vanadium sesquioxide shows critical-slowing-down and enhanced variance ('critical opalescence') of the order parameter fluctuations measured through low-frequency resistance-noise…
Coupled transitions between distinct ordered phases are important aspects behind the rich phase complexity of correlated oxides that hinders our understanding of the underlying phenomena. For this reason, fundamental control over complex…
We demonstrate control of helimagnetic order in biaxially strained SrFeO3 thin films using neutron diffraction and resonant soft x-ray scattering. SrFeO3, a negative charge-transfer oxide, exhibits a complex magnetic phase diagram that…
Coupled structural and electronic phase transitions underlie the multifunctional properties of strongly-correlated materials. For example, colossal magnetoresistance1,2 in manganites involves phase transition from paramagnetic insulator to…
Recent experiments suggest that atomic disordering dynamics are more universal than conventional coherent processes in photoinduced phase transitions (PIPTs), yet its mechanism remains unclear. Using real-time time-dependent density…
We analyze the effects on the structural and electronic properties of vanadium dioxide (VO$_2$) of adding an empirical inter-atomic potential within the density-functional theory$+V$ (DFT$+V$) framework. We use the DFT$+V$ machinery founded…
The physics of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in vanadium dioxide remains a subject of intense interest. Because of the complicating effects of elastic strain on the phase transition, there is interest in comparatively strain-free…
Electronic correlation is of fundamental importance to high temperature superconductivity. While the low energy electronic states in cuprates are dominantly affected by correlation effects across the phase diagram, observation of…
Heteroepitaxy offers a new type of control mechanism for the crystal structure, the electronic correlations, and thus the functional properties of transition-metal oxides. Here, we combine electrical transport measurements, high-resolution…
Monolayer vanadium ditelluride (VTe2) exhibits a 2\sqrt{3}*2\sqrt{3} charge density wave (CDW) order intertwined with a Mott-insulating state. However, the physical mechanisms driving the emergence of CDW order and Mott-insulating state are…
Deterministic control of the layering configuration of two-dimensional quantum materials plays a central role in studying their emergent electronic properties. Here we demonstrate in-situ control over competing stacking configurations in…
When the electron density of highly crystalline thin films is tuned by chemical doping or ionic liq- uid gating, interesting effects appear including unconventional superconductivity, sizeable spin-orbit coupling, competition with…
V2O3 is an archetypal system for the study of correlation induced, Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transitions. Despite decades of extensive investigations, the accurate description of its electronic properties remains an open problem in the…
