Thin films of perovskite Ruthenates of the general formula ARuO3 (A = Ca and Sr) are versatile electrical conductors for viable oxide electronics. They are also scientifically intriguing, as they exhibit non-trivial electromagnetic ground…
The present paper is dedicated to the structural study of crystallographic peculiarities appearing in epitaxial films of metastable epsilon iron oxide ($\varepsilon$-Fe$_2$O$_3$) grown by pulsed laser deposition onto a semiconductor GaN…
Using first-principles calculations we examine the crystal structures and phase transitions of nitride perovskite LaWN$_3$. Lattice dynamics calculations indicate that the ground-state structure belongs to space group $R3c$. Two competitive…
In this paper we study the size effects of the ferroelectric nanotube and nanowire phase diagrams and polar properties allowing for radial stress and depolarization field influence. The approximate analytical expression for the…
We use solid-state methods to synthesize single crystals of perovskite-phase cesium lead iodide (${\gamma}$-CsPbI3) that are kinetically stable at room temperature. Single crystal X-ray diffraction characterization shows that the compound…
Fe3GaTe2 (FGaT), a two-dimensional (2D) layered ferromagnetic metal, exhibits a high Curie temperature (TC) ~ 360 K along with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), making it a promising material candidate for next-generation…
The structural evolution of epitaxial mono-oriented (i.e. with the c-axis perpendicular to the interface) ferroelectric Pb(Zr0.2,Ti0.8)O3 thin film has been investigated, using high resolution, temperature dependent, X-ray diffraction. The…
Thermoelectric material provides a high hope for converting harmful and useless heat into useful energy, electricity. It can also be used as solid state Peltier coolers in integrated circuits, an outstanding challenge for electronic…
Making a systematic effort, we have developed a single-crystalline ZnSnN2 on ZnO (0001) by reactive magnetron co-sputtering. Epitaxial growth was achieved at 350 C by co-sputtering from metal targets in nitrogen atmosphere, and confirmed by…
Compared to AgNbO3 based ceramics, the experimental investigations on the single crystalline AgNbO3, especially the ground state and ferroic domain structures, are not on the same level. Here in this work, based on successfully synthesized…
Density functional calculations are performed to study the effect of epitaxial strain on PbZrO3. We find a remarkably small energy difference between the epitaxially strained polar R3c and nonpolar Pbam structures over the full range of…
Ferroelectricity is characterized by the presence of spontaneous and switchable macroscopic polarization. Scaling limits of ferroelectricity have been of both fundamental and technological importance, but the probes of ferroelectricity have…
In this paper we study the size effects of the ferroelectric nanotube phase diagrams and polar properties allowing for effective surface tension and depolarization field influence. The approximate analytical expression for the…
NaTaO3-50wt% Fe2O3 composite ceramics showed a large Seebeck voltage of -300 mV at a temperature gradient of 650 K yielding a constant Seebeck coefficient of more than -500 microV/K over a wide temperature range. We report for the first…
ScAlN is an emerging ferroelectric material that possesses large band gap, strong piezoelectricity, and holds great promises for enhanced \chi^{(2)} nonliearity. In this study, we demonstrate high-fidelity ferroelectric domain switching and…
One-dimensional organo-metal halide Perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) nanorods whose diameter and length are dictated by the inner size of porous silicon nanotube templates have been grown, characterized and compared to bulk perovskites in the form…
Perovskite oxides are promising for energy and quantum technologies, but wide-gap hosts such as NaAlO3 suffer from deep-UV absorption and limited carrier transport. Using first-principles GGA+U+SOC calculations, we investigate Eu3+-, Gd3+-,…
We study lanthanum mononitride LaN by first-principles calculations. The commonly reported rock-salt structure of $Fm\bar{3}m$ symmetry for rare-earth monopnictides is found dynamically unstable for LaN at zero temperature. Using density…
SrTiO$_3$ thin films were used as a model system to study the effects of strain and epitaxial constraint on structural phase transitions of perovskite films. The basic phenomena revealed will apply to a variety of important structural…
Proximity to phase transitions (PTs) is frequently responsible for the largest dielectric susceptibilities in ferroelectrics. The impracticality of using temperature as a control parameter to reach those large responses has motivated the…
