It is well known that external magnetic fields and magnetic moments of impurities both suppress superconductivity. Here, we demonstrate that their combined effect enhances the superconductivity of a few atomic layer thick Pb films grown on…
Susceptibility measurements of patterned thin films at sub-K temperatures were carried out using a scanning SQUID microscope that can resolve signals corresponding to a few hundred Bohr magnetons. Several metallic and insulating thin films,…
It was experimentally found that the evolution of dielectric loss with processing temperature displays a common trend in ferroelectric and dielectric thin oxide films: firstly an increase and then a decrease in dielectric loss when the…
We have studied the temperature dependence of conductivity, $\sigma(T)$, in two series of Ag$_{x}$(SnO$_2$)$_{1-x}$ and Mo$_{x}$(SnO$_2$)$_{1-x}$ granular films lying below the percolation threshold, where $x$ is the metal volume fraction.…
The Hall resistivity, magnetoresistance, and magnetization of La_{1-x}Ca_{x}CoO_{3} epitaxial films with x between 0.25 and 0.4 grown on lanthanum aluminate were measured in fields up to 7 T. The x=1/3 film, shows a reentrant metal…
We show that the normal state transport properties of nano-scale granular Aluminum films, near the metal to insulator transition, present striking similarities with those of Kondo systems. Those include a negative magneto-resistance, a…
Granular nanostructure of electron beam resist had limited the ultimate resolution of electron beam lithography. We report a thermal process to achieve a uniform and homogeneous amorphous thin film of poly methyl methacrylate electron…
The effect of crystal lattice disorder on the conductivity and colossal magnetoresistance in La_{1-x}Ca_{x}MnO_{3} (x \approx 0.33) films has been examined. The lattice defects are introduced by irradiating the film with high-energy (\simeq…
The magnetic properties and magnetization dynamics of polycrystalline ultra-thin Co layers were investigated using a broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) technique at room temperature. A variable thickness (1 nm $\leq t \leq$ 10 nm) Co…
We discovered a fractional Chern structure in chiral superconducting Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ nanofilms by employing electric transport. By using Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ single crystals with nanoscale thickness, a fractional Hall conductance was observed…
Silver nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric matrix are investigated for their potential as broadband-absorbing optical sensor materials. This contribution focuses on the electrical properties of silver nanoparticles at various…
Thickness dependence and strain effects in films of $La_{1-x}A_xMnO_3$ perovskites are analyzed in the colossal magnetoresistance regime. The calculations are based on a generalization of a variational approach previously proposed for the…
Thin films of Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 manganites exhibiting charge/orbital-ordered properties with colossal magnetoresistance have been synthesized by the pulsed laser deposition technique on both (100)-SrTiO3 and (100)-LaAlO3 substrates. The…
Ga2O3 thin films were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from a liquid gallium target. The influence of deposition temperature, substrate type, and discharge parameters on the structural and electrical properties was systematically…
We present a study of electron-beam evaporated Pd0.4Ni0.6 alloy thin films by means of ferromagnetic resonance measurements on extended films of varying thickness and anisotropic magnetoresistance measurements of lithographically patterned…
The structural, magnetic and dielectric properties have been investigated in 3$d$-5$d$ based double perovskite Sr$_2$FeIrO$_6$ thin films deposited by pulse laser deposition technique. To understand the effect of strain, epitaxial films are…
We report the planar and anomalous Nernst effect in epitaxial thin films of spin polarized La2/3Sr1/3MnO3. The thermal counterpart of the anomalous Hall effect in this material (i.e. the anomalous Nernst effect) shows a extreme sensitivity…
Terahertz time-domain conductivity measurements in 2 to 100 nm thick iron films resolve the femtosecond time delay between applied electric fields and resulting currents. This response time decreases for thinner metal films. The macroscopic…
We report on the influence of the chemical composition on the electronic properties of molybdenum oxynitrides thin films grown by reactive sputtering on Si (100) substrates at room temperature. The partial pressure of Ar was fixed at 90 %,…
Copper-doped zinc sulphide (ZnS:Cu) thin films were synthesized through pulsed laser ablation in an inert background gas on stationary and rotating substrates, and a comprehensive opto-electrical characterisation is presented. The…
