Ferromagnetism and electrical insulation are often at odds, signifying an inherent trade off. The simultaneous optimization of both in one material, essential for advancing spintronics and topological electronics, necessitates the…

Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) and its alloys are the best bulk thermoelectric materials known today. The stacked quasi-two-dimensional (2D) layers of Bi2Te3 were also identified as topological insulators. In this paper we describe a method for…

This paper reviews recent developments in quantum transport and it presents recent efforts to explore the contribution of topological insulator boundary states to thermoelectricity in Bi$_2$Te$_3$ thin films. Although Bi$_2$Te$_3$ has been…

We report on the observation of a possible topological Hall effect in thin films of the itinerant ferromagnet Eu1-xSmxTiO3. EuTiO3 and Eu0.955Sm0.045TiO3 films were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The EuTiO3 film is insulating. The Hall…

Multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) thin film exhibiting desired ferroelectric and enhanced magnetic properties was grown on La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) buffered Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by off-axis RF magnetic sputtering, where a highly (111)-oriented…

Intermetallic binary compounds of europium reveal a variety of interesting phenomena due to the interconnection between two different magnetic and 4f electronic (valence) states, which are particularly close in energy. The valence states or…

We report different growth modes and corresponding magnetic properties of thin EuSe films grown by molecular beam epitaxy on BaF2, Pb1-xEuxSe, GaAs, and Bi2Se3 substrates. We show that EuSe growth predominantly in (001) orientation on…

Topologically protected surface states have garnered significant attention due to their robustness against perturbations and potential applications in optoelectronics. Bi2 Bi2Se3 is a topological semimetal composed of a 2D bismuthene sheet…

Topological insulators (TIs) like Bi$_2$Se$_3$ are a class of material with topologically protected surface states in which spin-momentum locking may enable spin-polarized and defect-tolerant transport. In this work, we achieved the…

The recent application of topological quantum chemistry to rhombohedral bismuth established the non-trivial band structure of this material. This is a 2$^{nd}$order topological insulator characterized by the presence of topology-imposed…

Epitaxially grown RuO2 films on TiO2 (110) exhibit significant in-plane strain anisotropy, with a compressive strain of - 4.7% along the [001] crystalline direction and a tensile strain of +2.3% along [1-10]. As the film thickness…

We theoretically study the generic behavior of the penetration depth of the edge states in two-dimensional quantum spin Hall systems. We found that the momentum-space width of the edge-state dispersion scales with the inverse of the…

We show that thin layers of EuO, a ferromagnetic insulator, can be achieved by topotactic reduction under titanium of a Eu2O3 film deposited on top of a graphene template. The reduction process leads to the formation of a 7-nm thick EuO…
