Coupling between spin, orbital, charge, and lattice degrees of freedom in transition-metal oxides produces a variety of electronic and magnetic phenomena of importance for future technologies. Here, we explore the electronic band structure…
We present a comprehensive study of the crystal structure of the thin-film, ferromagnetic topological insulator (Bi, Sb)$_{2-x}$V$_x$Te$_3$. The dissipationless quantum anomalous Hall edge states it manifests are of particular interest for…
We report on the characterization of Pt-YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ interfaces, focusing on how oxygen vacancies content ($\delta$) affects electrical transport mechanisms. Our study examines four Pt-YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ samples with…
Tensile strained bulk HgTe is a three-dimensional topological insulator. Because of the energetic position of its surface state Dirac points relative to its small bulk gap, the electronic properties of the relatively thin MBE-grown films…
We report the formation of a non-magnetic band insulator at the isopolar interface between the antiferromagnetic Mott-Hubbard insulator LaTiO3 and the antiferromagnetic charge transfer insulator LaFeO3. By density functional theory…

A modified model of metal-semiconductor contacts is applied to analyze the capacitance-voltage and current-voltage characteristics of metal-ferroelectric-metal structures. The ferroelectric polarization is considered as a sheet of surface…
Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy we have studied the low-energy electronic structure and the Fermi surface topology of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ superconductors. Similar to the known iron pnictides we observe hole pockets at…
Heterointerfaces of SrTiO$_{3}$ with other transition metal oxides make up an intriguing family of systems with a bounty of coexisting and competing physical orders. Some examples, such as LaAlO$_{3}$/SrTiO$_{3}$, support a high carrier…
Sodium niobate (NaNbO$_{3}$) is a perovskite oxide and a key component of emerging lead-free antiferroelectric capacitors for high-energy-density applications. However, its performance can be hindered by irreversible phase transitions and…
