The growth and characterization of epitaxial Co3O4(111) films grown by oxygen plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on single crystalline a-Al2O3(0001) is reported. The Co3O4(111) grows single crystalline with the epitaxial relation…
We report the physical properties of Co$_2$CrAl Heusler alloy epitaxial thin films grown on single crystalline MgO(001) substrate using pulsed laser deposition technique. The x-ray diffraction pattern in $\theta$-2$\theta$ mode showed the…
The crystallographic orientation of SrIrO3 surfaces is decisive for the occurrence of topological surface states. We show from DFT computations that (001) and (110) free surfaces have comparable energies, and, correspondingly, we…
High quality (1 1 1)-oriented CoCr$_2$O$_4$/Al$_2$O$_3$ heterostructures were synthesized on the sapphire (0 0 0 1) single crystal substrates in a layer-by-layer mode. The structural properties are demonstrated by $in$-$situ$ reflection…
Magnetite thin fims have been grown epitaxially on ZnO and MgO substrates using molecular beam epitaxy. The film quality was found to be strongly dependent on the oxygen partial pressure during growth. Structural, electronic, and magnetic…
We present an extensive study on the effect of substrate orientation, strain, stoichiometry and defects on spin ice physics in Ho$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ thin films grown onto yttria-stabilized-zirconia substrates. We find that growth in different…
GeCu$_2$O$_4$ is a high-pressure recoverable cuprate with a strongly tetragonally elongated spinel structure and magnetic lattice formed by $S=1/2$ CuO$_2$ linear chains with frustrated exchange interactions and exotic magnetic behavior.…
Electronic states of a correlated material can be effectively modified by structural variations delivered from a single-crystal substrate. In this letter, we show that the CrN films grown on MgO (001) substrates have a (001) orientation,…
We report on the epitaxial film growth and characterization of CoV$_2$O$_4$, a near-itinerant spinel vanadate, grown on (001) SrTiO$_3$. The symmetry lowering of the unit cell from cubic in the bulk to orthorhombic in the films results in…
We report different growth modes and corresponding magnetic properties of thin EuSe films grown by molecular beam epitaxy on BaF2, Pb1-xEuxSe, GaAs, and Bi2Se3 substrates. We show that EuSe growth predominantly in (001) orientation on…
A high-throughput investigation of local epitaxy (called combinatorial substrate epitaxy) was carried out on Ca$_2$MnO$_4$ Ruddlesden-Popper thin films of six thicknesses (from 20 to 400 nm), all deposited on isostructural polycrystalline…
Thin epitaxial films of metals on insulating substrates are essential for many applications, as conducting layers, in magnetic devices or as templates for further growth. In this work, we report on the growth of epitaxial Ru films on…
We study the effect of the growth orientation on the structural, electronic, and hence transport properties of Sr$_2$CoNbO$_6$ thin films grown on the orthorhombic NGO(100) and cubic MgO(100) substrates. The x-ray diffraction patterns show…
We report on the fabrication of high quality (1 1 1)-oriented ferrimagnetic normal spinel CoCr2O4 epitaxial thin films on single crystal Al2O3 substrates. The structural, electronic and magnetic properties were characterized by in-situ…
NiFe$_2$O$_4$ thin films with varying thickness were grown on SrTiO$_3$(001) by reactive molecular beam epitaxy. Soft and hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements reveal a homogeneous cation distribution throughout the whole film…
CaFe2O4 is a highly anisotropic antiferromagnet reported to display two spin arrangements with up-up-down-down (phase A) and up-down-up-down (phase B) configurations. The relative stability of these phases is ruled by the competing…
Non-centrosymmetric magnetic materials are a promising platform for stabilizing chiral spin textures, such as skyrmions and cycloidal magnetic states. This is particularly true in epitaxial thin film geometries, where strain and interface…
Effect of growth orientation on charge- and orbital-ordering (CO-OO) phenomena has been studied for Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 epitaxial thin films fabricated on (LaAlO3)0.3-(SrAl0.5Ta0.5O3)0.7 (LSAT) substrates by means of resistivity, synchrotron…
The effects of growth rate (G_r), deposition temperature (T_d), film thickness (t_F), and substrate induced strain (epsilon) on morphological, crystallographic and magnetic characteristics of equiatomic CoPt epitaxial films synthesized with…
Co2FeAl (CFA) thin films with thickness varying from 10 nm to 115 nm have been deposited on MgO(001) substrates by magnetron sputtering and then capped by Ta or Cr layer. X-rays diffraction (XRD) revealed that the cubic $[001]$ CFA axis is…
