The distortion of corner-sharing octahedra in isovalent perovskite transition-metal oxide interfaces is proven to be an excellent way to tailor the electronic and magnetic properties of their heterostructures. Combining depth-dependent…
Piezoelectrics play a critical role in various applications. The permanent dipole associated with the molecular cations in organometal-halide perovskites (OMHPs) may lead to spontaneous polarization and thus piezoelectricity. Here, we…
A complete solid solution series between the t2g^4 perovskite ferromagnet SrRuO3 and the diamagnetic t2g^6 perovskite LaRhO3 has been prepared. The evolution with composition x in (SrRuO3)(1-x)(LaRhO3)(x) of the crystal structure and…
Electrical manipulation of lattice, charge, and spin has been realized respectively by the piezoelectric effect, field-effect transistor, and electric field control of ferromagnetism, bringing about dramatic promotions both in fundamental…
Orbital Hall effect (OHE) is the phenomenon of transverse flow of orbital moment in presence of an applied electric field. Solids with broken inversion symmetry are expected to exhibit a strong OHE due to the presence of an intrinsic…
In metal/oxide heterostructures, rich chemical, electronic, magnetic and mechanical properties can emerge from interfacial chemistry and structure. The possibility to dynamically control interface characteristics with an electric field…
Spin-orbit effects in heavy 5$d$ transition metal oxides, in particular, iridates, have received enormous current interest due to the prediction as well as the realization of a plethora of exotic and unconventional magnetic properties.…
We employ reactive molecular-beam epitaxy to synthesize the metastable perovskite SrIrO$_{3}$ and utilize {\it in situ} angle-resolved photoemission to reveal its electronic structure as an exotic narrow-band semimetal. We discover…
We discuss the notions of spin-orbital polarization and ordering in paramagnetic materials, and address their consequences in transition metal oxides. Extending the combined density functional and dynamical mean field theory scheme to the…
We investigate the rotation effect of the RuO$_6$ octahedron around the $c$ axis on the topological and transport properties near the surface of the spin-triplet superconductor Sr$_2$RuO$_4$. While the Fermi level of bulk Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ is…
The perovskite rare-earth titanates are model Mott insulators with magnetic ground states that are very sensitive to structural distortions. These distortions couple strongly to the orbital degrees of freedom and, in principle, it should be…
We report a systematic first-principles study based on density functional theory (DFT) of the structural and ferroelectric properties of the $R_2$Ti$_2$O$_{7}$ perovskite-related oxides with $R=$ La, Ce, Pr, and Nd. We show that, in all…
The phase diagram of Ca$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$RuO$_4$ has been studied by neutron diffraction on powder and single-crystalline samples. The experiments reveal antiferromagnetic order and structural distortions characterized by tilts and rotations of…
The compound Ba3HoRu2O9 magnetically orders at 50 K (TN1) followed by another complex magnetic ordering at 10.2 K (TN2). The 2nd magnetic phase transition was characterized by the co-existence of two competing magnetic ground states…
A wide variety of applications has inspired great interest in designing new materials and investigating fundamental physics in the ferroelectric field. In the concept of ferroelectricity, the spontaneous polarization is traditionally…
The structure of ABO3 perovskites is dominated by two types of unstable modes, namely, the oxygen octahedral rotation (AFD) and ferroelectric (FE) mode. It is generally believed that such AFD and FE modes tend to compete and suppress each…
We present first-principles studies on the orbital states of the layered perovskites Ca$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$RuO$_4$. The crossover from antiferromagnetic (AF) Mott insulator for $x < 0.2$ to nearly ferromagnetic (FM) metal at $x=0.5$ is…
Conflicting interpretations of experimental data preclude the understanding of the quantum magnetic state of spin-orbit coupled $d^2$ double perovskites. Whether the ground state is a Janh-Teller-distorted order of quadrupoles or the…
The utilization of orbital transport provides a versatile and efficient spin manipulation mechanism. As interest in orbital-mediated spin manipulation grows, we face a new issue to identify the underlying physics that determines the…
Clarifying the underlying mechanisms that govern ordering transitions in condensed matter systems is crucial for comprehending emergent properties and phenomena. While transitions are often classified as electronically driven or…
