This work explores erbium-doped calcium molybdate (CaMoO$_4$) thin films grown on silicon and yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates, as a potential solid state system for C-band (utilizing the $\sim$1.5 $\mu$m Er$^{3+}$ 4f-4f…
The reversible semiconductor-to-metal transition of vanadium dioxide (VO2) makes VO2-based coatings a promising candidate for thermochromic smart windows, reducing the energy consumption of buildings. We report low-temperature (320 degC)…
Highly oriented VO2 thin films were grown on sapphire substrates by the sol-gel method that includes a low pressure annealing in an oxygen atmosphere. This reduction process effectively promotes the formation of the VO2 phase over a…
We present a methodology based on \textit{ex-situ} (post-growth) electrochemistry to control the oxygen concentration in thin films of the superconducting oxide La$_2$CuO$_{4+y}$ grown epitaxially on substrates of isostructural LaSrAlO$_4$.…
Thin films of the electron-doped infinite-layer cuprate superconductor Sr$_{1-x}$La$_x$CuO$_2$ (SLCO) with doping $x \approx 0.15$ were grown by means of pulsed laser deposition. (001)-oriented KTaO$_3$ and SrTiO$_3$ single crystals were…
An experimental investigation was conducted to explore spectroscopic and structural characterization of semiconducting yttrium oxide thin film deposited at 623 K (+/- 5K) utilizing reactive pulsed direct current magnetron sputtering. Based…
We have grown VO2 thin films by laser ablation for electronic device applications. In obtaining the thin films of the pure VO2 phase, oxygen partial pressure is a critical parameter because vanadium oxides have several phases with the…
Rare earth ion (REI)-doped oxide thin films are attractive for the application of quantum interconnects due to their stable optical levels and scalability$^{1-3}$. Among them, Er$^{3+}$ doped CaWO$_{4}$ is promising because it possesses…
In this paper we reported, to the best of our knowledge, the first deposition of highly oriented thin films (with thickness of about 90 nm) of NdCoO3 and Nd0.8Sr0.2CoO3 cobaltites on single-crystalline STO and LAO substrates. Our…
Yttrium oxyhydride (YHO) represents one of the most promising photochromic materials discovered in recent years, yet its practical deployment has been severely constrained by the limitations of thin film deposition methods. Here we…
Rare earth ions in crystals exhibit narrow spectral features and hyperfine-split ground states with exceptionally long coherence times. These features make them ideal platforms for quantum information processing in the solid state.…
High–quality epitaxial YNixMn1-xO3 thin films have been successfully grown on SrTiO3 (100) (STO) by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the films deposited on STO are fully c-axis oriented and exhibit…
Silicon films doped with Er and O were prepared by techniques of physical vapor deposition on crystalline silicon, ion beam mixing and oxygen incorporation through Ar+ and O2+ implantation, and thermal annealing. Processing steps were…
