We consider ferroelectric phase transitions in both short-circuited and biased ferroelectric-semiconductor films with a space (depletion) charge which leads to some unusual behavior. It is shown that in the presence of the charge the…
Single-crystalline ferroelectric (FE) perovskites show a large electrocaloric effect at electric field-induced phase transitions, promising for solid-state cooling technologies. However, paraelectric-FE transition temperatures are often too…
(1-x)Li0.12Na0.88NbO3-xBaTiO3 (0 to x to 0.40) ferroelectric ceramics were prepared using conventional ceramics route and their phase transitional behavior is investigated by using dielectric spectroscopy. The temperature-dependent…
Hexagonal YMnO$_3$ is well known for the co-occurrence of ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetism at low temperatures. Using temperature-dependent spectroscopic ellipsometry at an $a$-plane oriented single crystal, we show how the…
SrVO3 and SrNbO3 are perovskite-type transition-metal oxides with the same d1 electronic configuration. Although SrNbO3 (4d1) has a larger d orbital than SrVO3 (3d1), the reported electrical resistivity of SrNbO3 is much higher than that of…
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…
Flexible NbC nanocomposite thin films with carbon content ranging from 0 to 99 at.% were deposited at room temperature on Si (100) and polystyrene substrates by non-reactive magnetron sputtering from pure Nb and C targets without applying…
Thin films of high-permittivity dielectrics are considered ideal candidates for realizing high charge density nanosized capacitors for use in next generation energy storage and nanoelectronic applications. The experimentally observed…
Understanding collective phenomena in quantum materials from first principles is a promising route toward engineering materials properties on demand and designing new functionalities. This work examines the quantum paraelectric state, an…
Anomalous resistive peaks below the superconducting transition temperature in heavily boron doped nanocrystalline diamond films could have potential application in switching devices, however the exact origin is still under study. We…
We report that an energetic plasma process is extremely effective in enlarging the unit cell volume and ferroelectric distortion of the ferroelectric oxides, resulting in a significant increase in its Tc. We demonstrate experimentally that…
Highly-strained BiFeO3 exhibits a "tetragonal-like, monoclinic" crystal structure found only in epitaxial films (with an out-of-plane lattice parameter exceeding the in-plane value by >20%). Previous work has shown that this phase is…
Highly-crystalline ferroelectric oxides integrated on Si hold great promise for energy-efficient memory and logic technologies. Exploiting epitaxial strain engineering in these materials is, however, severely hampered on Si, where the large…
Temperature measurements of dielectric permittivity are performed for nonstoichiometric ferroelectric lead germanate Pb$_{4.95}$Ge$_3$O$_{11}$ and multiferroic solid solution [N(C$_2$H$_5$)$_4$]$_2$CoClBr$_3$. Unlike the heat capacity data,…
We report the temperature dependence of resistivity (rho) and Hall coefficient (R_H) in the normal state of homogeneously disordered epitaxial NbN thin films with kFl~3.27-10.12. The superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of these…
We have observed the magnetoelectric response at room temperature and above in high-resistive ceramics made of multiferroic Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)O3 (PFN) and PFN-based solid solution 0.91PFN-0.09PbTiO3 (PFN-PT). The value of the…
We report the observation of a phase transition in a KTaO$_3$ crystal, corresponding to a paraelectric-to-ferroelectric transition. The crystal was placed inside a copper cavity to form a dielectric-loaded microwave cavity, and the…
In three dimensional (3D) disordered metals, the electron-phonon (\emph{e}-ph) scattering is the sole significant inelastic process. Thus the theoretical predication concerning the electron-electron (\emph{e}-\emph{e}) scattering rate…
We construct a comprehensive theory of the electrodynamic response of ferroelectric ultra-thin films containing periodic domain textures (PDT) with 180{\deg} polarization-oriented domains. The focal point of the theory is the…
The linear magnetoelectric effect was measured in 500 nm Cr2O3 films grown by rf sputtering on Al2O3 substrates between top and bottom thin film Pt electrodes. Magnetoelectric susceptibility was measured directly by applying an AC electric…
