The control of optical fields is usually achieved through the electro-optic or acousto-optic effect in single-crystal ferroelectric or polar compounds such as LiNbO3 or quartz. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made in…
The limited operational range of phase transition-based luminescence thermometers necessitates the exploration of new host materials exhibiting first-order structural phase transitions to broaden the applicability of this approach.…
Sub-wavelength nanostructured systems with tunable electromagnetic properties, such as hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs), provide a useful platform to tailor spontaneous emission processes. Here, we investigate a system comprising $Eu^{…
Transition metal doping is known to increase the photosensitivity to visible light for photocatalytically active ZnO. We report on the electronic structure of nano-crystalline Fe:ZnO, which has recently been shown to be an efficient…
Selective optical excitation of a substrate lattice can drive phase changes across hetero-interfaces. This phenomenon is a non-equilibrium analogue of static strain control in heterostructures and may lead to new applications in optically…
Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of zinc oxide (ZnO) samples with different hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) treatment durations were measured to examine several point defects on the surface of the films. These results suggest successful oxidation…
In the perovskite oxide SrCrO$_{3}$ the interplay between crystal structure, strain and orbital ordering enables a transition from a metallic to an insulating electronic structure under certain conditions. We identified a narrow window of…
Although rare earth nickelates (ReNiO3) exhibit abundant electronic phases and widely adjustable metal to insulator electronic transition properties, their practical electronic applications are largely impeded by their intrinsic meta…
Harnessing rare-earth ions in oxides for quantum networks requires integration with bright emitters in III-V semiconductors, but local disorder and interfacial noise limit their optical coherence. Here, we investigate the microscopic…
We report a series of measurements of the effect of an electric field on the frequency of the ultranarrow linewidth $^7F_0 \rightarrow$ $^5D_0$ optical transition of $\rm Eu^{3+}$ ions in an $\rm Y_2SiO_5$ matrix at cryogenic temperatures.…
Actively tunable nanophotonic platforms that control light-matter interactions enable reconfigurable optical systems and programmable photonic integrated circuits. Hydrostatic pressure provides a noninvasive and material-agnostic mechanism…
The effect of oxygen partial pressure during the pre-calcination step (high vacuum, air, nitrogen, and oxygen) on the crystal structure, microstructure, and electrical properties of Na0.5Bi0.465Sr0.02Eu0.005TiO3 oxide-ion-conducting…
Structural changes in REMnO3 (RE= Y, Ho, Lu) under high pressure were examined by synchrotron x-ray diffraction methods at room temperature. Compression occurs more readily in the ab plane than along the c-axis. Under hydrostatic pressure…
The model of NH$_3$CH$_2$COOH$\cdot$H$_2$PO$_3$, modified by taking into account the piezoelectric coupling between the ordering structure elements and the strains $\varepsilon_i$, $\varepsilon_j$, is used for investigation of the effects…
We have conducted a detailed high-pressure (HP) investigation on $Eu-$doped $BaTiO_3$ using angle-resolved x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, dielectric permittivity and dc resistance measurements. The x-ray diffraction data analysis…
We combine ultrafast electron diffraction and time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy measurements to unravel the connection between structure and electronic transport properties during the photoinduced insulator-metal transitions in vanadium…
Hydrostatic pressure and oxygen vacancies usually have deleterious effects on ferroelectric materials because both tend to reduce their polarization. In this work we use first-principles calculations to study an important class of…
Iron-based superconductors are well-known for their intriguing phase diagrams, which manifest a complex interplay of electronic, magnetic and structural degrees of freedom. Among the phase transitions observed are superconducting, magnetic,…
We report a room-temperature optical reflectivity study performed on [112]-oriented Cd$_3$As$_2$ single crystals over a broad energy range under external pressure up to 10 GPa. The abrupt drop of the band dispersion parameter…
A major challenge in condensed matter physics is active control of quantum phases. Dynamic control with pulsed electromagnetic fields can overcome energetic barriers enabling access to transient or metastable states that are not thermally…
