Two-dimensional magnetic materials attract a lot of attention since they potentially exhibit new magnetic properties due to, e.g., strongly enhanced spin fluctuations. However, the suppression of the long-range magnetic order in two…
We have studied quantization and confinement effects in nanostructured superconductors. Three different types of nanostructured samples were investigated: individual structures (line, loop, dot), 1-dimensional (1D) clusters of loops and 2D…
Interfacial charge transfer in oxide heterostructures gives rise to a rich variety of electronic and magnetic phenomena. Designing heterostructures where one of the thin-film components exhibits a metal-insulator transition opens a…
Ferroelectric topological objects (e.g. vortices, skyrmions) provide a fertile ground for exploring emerging physical properties that could potentially be utilized in future configurable nanoelectronic devices. Here, we demonstrate…
A detailed numerical study of the real space configuration of vortices in disordered superconductors using 2D London-Langevin model is presented. The magnetic field $B$ is varied between 0 and $B_{c2}$ for various pinning strengths…
Emergent magnetic phenomena at interfaces represent a frontier in materials science, pivotal for advancing technologies in spintronics and magnetic storage. In this letter, we utilize a suite of advanced X-ray spectroscopic and scattering…
Ferroelectrics have a spontaneous electrical polarization that is arranged into domains and can be reversed by an externally applied field. This high versatility makes them useful in enabling components such as capacitors, sensors, and…
General approach for consideration of primary ferroic (ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, ferroelastic) nanoparticles phase transitions was proposed in phenomenological theory framework. The surface stress, order parameter gradient, striction as…
Sliding ferroelectrics built from stacked nonpolar monolayers enable out-of-plane polarization and unconventional switching via interlayer sliding, yet the microscopic sliding dynamics remain unclear. Using machine-learning molecular…
By performing first-principles calculations, we systematically explore the effect of epitaxial strain on the structure and properties of multiferroic TbMnO3. We show that, although the unstrained bulk TbMnO3 displays a non-collinear…
We use a phase-field model to study the effect of confinement on dendritic growth, in a pure material solidifying in an undercooled melt, and in the directional solidification of a dilute binary alloy. Specifically, we observe the effect of…
The changes of polarizational, elastic and structural properties of mutiferroic BiFeO3 under [111] direction uniaxial stress are calculated using density functional theory within the Perdew-Burke- Ernzerhof revised for solids (PBEsol) + U…
Strain control is one of the most promising avenues to search for new emergent phenomena in transition-metal-oxide films. Here, we investigate the strain-induced changes of electronic structures in strongly correlated LaNiO3 (LNO) films,…
The structural phase transition in hexagonal BaMnO$_3$ occurring at $T_c$=130 K was studied in ceramic samples using electron and X-ray diffraction, second harmonic generation as well as by dielectric and lattice dynamic spectroscopies. The…
Recent results in electric-field control of magnetism have paved the way for the design of alternative magnetic and spintronic devices with enhanced functionalities and low power consumption. Among the diversity of reported magnetoelectric…
We study the effect of cooling on the spatial distribution of the topological charge density in quenched SU(2) lattice gauge theory with overlap fermions. We show that as the gauge field configurations are cooled, the Hausdorff dimension of…
Results from dielectric and structural measurements on epitaxial SrTiO$_3$/BaZrO$_3$ superlattices reveal properties that cannot be explained simply in terms of those measured on single films of the constituent materials. For large…
Polar discontinuities occurring at interfaces between two different materials constitute both a challenge and an opportunity in the study and application of a variety of devices. In order to cure the large electric field occurring in such…
We investigated with synchrotron x-ray diffraction and reflectometry the formation of structural domains in the near-surface region of single crystalline SrTiO3 (001) substrates with Y0.6Pr0.4Ba2Cu3O7 / La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 superlattices grown on…
A promising mechanism for achieving colossal dielectric constants is to use insulating internal barrier layers, which typically form during synthesis and then remain in the material. It has recently been shown that insulating domain walls…
