Motivated by recent interest in perovskite surfaces and heterostructures, we present an analysis of the Kubo conductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formed in the $t_{2g}$ bands of an oxide with perovskite structure. We find…
Strongly-correlated transition-metal oxides are widely known for their various exotic phenomena. This is exemplified by rare-earth nickelates such as LaNiO$_{3}$, which possess intimate interconnections between their electronic, spin, and…
We studied strain-induced polarization and resulting conductivity in the nonpolar/nonpolar CaZrO3/SrTiO3 (CZO/STO) heterostructure (HS) system by means of first-principles electronic structure calculations. By modeling four types of CZO/STO…
Novel low dimensional quantum phenomena are expected at (110) LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) interfaces after the quasi two dimensional electron gas similar to that of (001) LAO/STO interfaces was found [G. Herranz et al., Sci. Rep. 2, 758 (2012)…
Superconductivity has been observed for the 2D electron gas (2DEG) at the interface of KTaO3 with other oxides, with a transition temperature about an order of magnitude higher than its 3d cousin SrTiO3. The superconducting transition…
We propose a method of controlling the metal-insulator transition of one perovskite material at its interface with a another ferroelectric material based on first principle calculations. The operating principle is that the rotation of…
LaAlO3/SrTiO3 ad LaTiO3/SrTiO3 interfaces are known to host a strongly inhomogeneous (nearly) two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). In this work we present three unconventional electronic mechanisms of electronic phase separation (EPS) in a…
In multiband superconductivity, the case where the single electron hopping between different Fermi surface spots of different symmetry is forbidden by selection rules is recently attracting a large interest. The focus is addressed to…
We have studied the transport properties of LaTiO3/SrTiO3 (LTO/STO) heterostructures. In spite of 2D growth observed in reflection high energy electron diffraction, Transmission Electron Microscopy images revealed that the samples tend to…
Multiferroics are compounds in which at least two ferroic orders coexist - typically (anti)ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity. While magnetic order can arise in both insulating and conducting compounds, ferroelectricity is in principle not…
Heterostructures of transition metal oxides (TMO) perovskites represent an ideal platform to explore exotic phenomena involving the complex interplay between the spin, charge, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom available in these…
We prospose a novel heterostructure system consisting of compounds with chemical formula A$_2$Mo$_3$O$_8$ (A, B : Zn,Mg,Cd) that can host a two dimensional electron/hole gas (2DEG/2DHG). We study spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric…
The discovery of a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas at the (110)-oriented LaAlO3/SrTiO3 in- terface provided us with the opportunity to probe the effect of crystallographic orientation and the ensuing electronic reconstructions on…
In pursuit of creating cuprate-like electronic and orbital structures, artificial heterostructures based on LaNiO$_3$ have inspired a wealth of exciting experimental and theoretical results. However, to date there is a very limited…
First principles calculations reveal that adding a metallic overlayer on LaAlO3/SrTiO3(001) eliminates the electric field within the polar LaAlO3 film and thus suppresses the thickness-dependent insulator-to-metal transition observed in…
We report on the discovery and transport study of the superconducting ground state present at the (111)LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface. The superconducting transition is consistent with a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition and its 2D…
First principles calculations were performed to study the ground state electronic properties of BaFeO3 (BFO) within the density functional theory (DFT). Adopting generalized gradient approximation (GGA) exchange and correlation functional…
Although the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in (001) Zn$_{1-x}$Mg$_x$O/ZnO heterostructures has been discovered for about twenty years, the origin of the 2DEG is still inconclusive. In the present letter, the formation mechanisms of…
Ferromagnetism and superconductivity are in most cases adverse. However, recent experiments reveal that they coexist at interfaces of LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. We analyze the magnetic state within density functional theory and provide evidence…
We report on the fabrication of all perovskite Mott insulator/band insulator YTiO3/CaTiO3 superlattices by pulsed laser deposition. The combination of in situ reflection high energy electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray…
