The highly conducting and transparent inorganic perovskites SrBO$_3$ with V, Nb, Mo, and their mixtures at the B-site have recently attracted the attention of the oxide electronics community as novel alternative transparent conducting…

Interests in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides have prompted some recent efforts to grow ultrathin layers of these materials epitaxially using molecular-beam epitaxy. However, growths of monolayer and bilayer WSe2, an…

Homogeneous highly epitaxial LaSrMnO3 (LSMO) thin films have been grown on Yttria-stabilized-Zirconia (YsZ) / CeO2 buffer layers on technological relevant 4" silicon wafers using a Twente Solid State Technology B.V. (TSST) developed large…

Epitaxial strain plays a key role in determining the structure and functionality of thin films, with the choice of substrate being traditionally used to control the magnitude of the applied strain. However, even in the large family of…

Epitaxial layers of the topological insulator Bi2Se3 have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on laterally lattice-matched InP(111)B substrates. High resolution X-ray diffraction shows a significant improvement of Bi2Se3 crystal quality…

Variations in growth conditions associated with different deposition techniques can greatly affect the phase stability and defect structure of complex oxide heterostructures. We synthesized superlattices of the paramagnetic metal LaNiO3 and…

We report the first combined study of the low-energy electronic band structure of epitaxial Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ films using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory. The complete Fermi-surface topography of the…

Topological materials are derived from the interplay between symmetry and topology. Advances in topological band theories have led to the prediction that the antiperovskite oxide Sr$_3$SnO is a topological crystalline insulator, a new…

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…

We have evaluated the optical and electrical properties of a far-infrared (IR) transparent electrode for extrinsic germanium (Ge) photoconductors at 4 K, which was fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). As a far-IR transparent…

We report the heteroepitaxy of single crystal thin films of Bi2Se3 on the (111)B surface of GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy. We find that Bi2Se3 grows highly c-axis oriented, with an atomically sharp interface with the GaAs substrate. By…

Lattice structure can dictate electronic and magnetic properties of a material. Especially, reconstruction at a surface or heterointerface can create properties that are fundamentally different from those of the corresponding bulk material.…

Strain-engineering is a powerful means to tune the polar, structural, and electronic instabilities of incipient ferroelectrics. KTaO3 is near a polar instability and shows anisotropic superconductivity in electron-doped samples. Here, we…

Metastable manganite perovskites displaying the antiferromagnetic so-called E-phase are predicted to be multiferroic. Due to the need of high-pressures for the synthesis of this phase, this prediction has only been confirmed in bulk HoMnO3.…

The search for topological superconductivity has motivated investigations into materials that combine topological and superconducting properties. The half-Heusler compound YPtBi appears to be such a material, however experiments have thus…

High quality thin films of topological insulators (TI) such as Bi2Se3 have been successfully synthesized by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Although the surface of MBE films can be protected by capping with inert materials such as amorphous…

We report the first doping of crystalline methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr$_3$) perovskite thin-films with CdSe/CdZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs), using a soft-chemistry method that preserves their high quantum yield and other…

Smooth interfaces and surfaces are beneficial for most (opto)electronic devices based on thin films and their heterostructures. For example, smoother interfaces in (010) beta-Ga2O3/(AlxGa1-x)2O3 heterostructures, whose roughness is ruled by…

Perovskite oxides hetero-structures are host to a large number of interesting phenomena such as ferroelectricity and 2D-superconductivity. Ferroelectric perovskite oxides have been of significant interest due to their possible use in…
