At interfaces between oxide materials, lattice and electronic reconstructions always play important roles in exotic phenomena. In this study, the density functional theory and maximally localized Wannier functions are employed to…

Understanding the nature of electrical conductivity, superconductivity and magnetism between layers of oxides is of immense importance for the design of electronic devices employing oxide heterostructures. We demonstrate that resonant…

We present a density-functional theory study addressing the energetics and electronic structure properties of isolated oxygen adatoms at the SrTiO3(001) surface. Together with a surface lattice oxygen atom, the adsorbate is found to form a…

Using a combination of density functional theory calculations with an on-site Coulomb repulsion term (DFT+$U$) and Boltzmann transport theory within the constant relaxation time approximation, we explore the effect of oxygen vacancies on…

Titanates with the perovskite structure, including ferroelectrics (e.g., BaTiO$_3$) and ferromagnetic ones (e.g., YTiO$_3$), are important functional materials. Recent theoretical studies predicted multiferroic states in strained EuTiO$_3$…

Ferromagnetism and superconductivity are in most cases adverse. However, recent experiments reveal that they coexist at interfaces of LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. We analyze the magnetic state within density functional theory and provide evidence…

A hypothetical layered oxide La_2NiMO_6 where NiO_2 and MO_2 planes alternate along the c-axis of ABO_3 perovskite lattice is considered theoretically. Here, M denotes a trivalent cation Al, Ga,... such that MO_2 planes are insulating and…

Emergent magnetic states at oxide interfaces arise from the interplay of charge transfer, orbital reconstruction, and dimensional confinement, offering a route to engineered correlated-electron behavior in nanoscale spintronic materials.…

Low-dimensional quantum materials that remain strongly ferromagnetic down to mono layer thickness are highly desired for spintronic applications. Although oxide materials are important candidates for next generation of spintronic,…

In ABO3 perovskites, oxygen octahedron rotations are common structural distortions that can promote large ferroelectricity in BiFeO3 with an R3c structure [1], but suppress ferroelectricity in CaTiO3 with a Pbnm symmetry [2]. For many…

Taking advantage of the large electron escape depth of soft x-ray angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy we report electronic structure measurements of (111)-oriented [LaNiO3/LaMnO3] superlattices and LaNiO3 epitaxial films. For thin…

Transport and magnetoresistance measurements are performed on metallic, high-carrier density YTiO3-CaTiO3 superlattices as a probe towards the investigation of an emergent magnetic order of YTiO3. On varying the thickness of YTiO3 while…

Strontium titanate, SrTiO3, a widely used substrate material for electronic oxide thin film devices, has provided many interesting features. In a combination with a similar oxide material, LaAlO3, it has recently received great interest. It…

The high-mobility 2DEGs formed at the interfaces between certain insulating perovskite oxides have been known to be a novel playground of exotic physical orders like, superconductivity and ferromagnetism and their inter-coupling. There have…

Using a materials genome approach on the basis of the density functional theory, we have formulated a new class of inorganic electrolytes for fast diffusion of Li+ ions, through fine-tuning of lattice chemistry of anti-perovskite…

Finding new collective electronic states in materials is one of the fundamental goals of condensed matter physics. Atomic-scale superlattices formed from transition metal oxides are a particularly appealing hunting ground for new physics.…

We investigate the structural, electronic, transport, and thermoelectric properties of LaNiO$_3$/SrTiO$_3(001)$ superlattices containing either exclusively $n$- or $p$-type interfaces or coupled interfaces of opposite polarity by using…

The interface electronic structure of correlated LaTiO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ superlattices is investigated by means of the charge self-consistent combination of the local density approximation (LDA) to density functional theory (DFT) with dynamical…

Properties of (BaTiO$_3$)$_1$/(BaZrO$_3$)$_n$ ferroelectric superlattices (SLs) with $n = {}$1--7 grown in the [001] direction are calculated from first principles within the density functional theory. It is revealed that the…

Interfacing complex oxides in atomically engineered layered structures can give rise to a wealth of exceptional electronic and magnetic properties that surpass those of the individual building blocks. Herein, we demonstrate a ferromagnetic…
