We derive an effective two-dimensional low-energy theory for thin superconducting films coupled to a three-dimensional fluctuating electromagnetic field. Using this theory we discuss plasma oscil- lations, interactions between charges and…
Recent advancements underscore the critical need to develop ferroelectric materials compatible with silicon. We systematically explore possible ferroelectric silicon quantum films and discover a low-energy variant (hex-OR-2*2-P) with energy…
We develop a finite temperature mean field theory in the path integral picture for an extremely dilute system of interacting Fermions in a plane. In the limit of short ranged interactions, the system is shown to undergo a phase transition…
Ferroelectric hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO) thin films show significant promise for applications in ferroelectric random-access memory, ferroelectric field-effect transistors, and ferroelectric tunneling junctions. However, there are…
Epitaxial strain provides important pathways to control the magnetic and electronic states in transition metal oxides. However, the large strain is usually accompanied by a strong reduction of the oxygen vacancy formation energy, which…
We present the analytical study of stability loss and evolution of domain structure in inhomogeneous ferroelectric and ferroelastic samples for exactly solvable models. The model assumes a short-circuited ferroelectric capacitor (free…
By tuning the physical and chemical pressures of layered perovskite materials we can realize the quantum states of both superconductors and insulators. By reducing the thickness of a layered crystal to a nanometer level, a nanofilm crystal…
We consider the Microcanonical Variational Principle for the vortex system in a bounded domain. In particular we are interested in the thermodynamic properties of the system in domains of second kind, i.e. for which the equivalence of…
Pressure-induced polarization switching in ferroelectric thin films has emerged as a powerful method for domain patterning, allowing to create predefined domain patterns on free surfaces and under thin conductive top electrodes. However,…
We report on the reinforcement of superconductivity in a system consisting of a narrow superconducting wire weakly coupled to a diffusive metallic film. We analyze the effective phase-only action of the system by a perturbative…
We study magnetic state and electron transport properties of composite multiferroic system consisting of a granular ferromagnetic thin film placed above the ferroelectric substrate. Ferroelectricity and magnetism in this case are coupled by…
We study the fundamental magnetic states of disc-shaped ferromagnetic particles with a uniaxial anisotropy along the symmetry axis. Besides the monodomain, a bidomain state is also identified and studied both numerically and theoretically.…
The remarkable advances achieved in two-dimensional materials are now being directly transposed to low-dimensional oxides. Here we show using first-principles-based atomistic simulations that ultrathin freestanding ferroelectric layers host…
Superconducting systems may display different types of nonequilibrium states depending on the specific constraints imposed for measurement. We probe current-voltage relations of three-dimensional superconducting films by allowing finite…
It is well-known that the electric field can induce phase transitions between superconducting, metallic and insulating states in thin-film materials due to its control of the charge carrier density. Since a similar effect on the charge…
A phenomenological theory of the incommensurate phase transition in thin films is presented for the case of the single-component order parameter. The order parameter distribution over the film is obtained under the assumption of…
The magneto-transport of a superconducting/ferromagnetic hybrid structure consisting of a superconducting thin film in contact with an array of magnetic nanodots in the so-called "magnetic vortex-state" exhibits interesting properties. For…
We report on imaging of the nonuniform superconducting states in a Pb thin film bridge on top of a ferromagnetic BaFe_{12}O_{19} single crystal with a single straight domain wall along the center of the bridge by low-temperature scanning…
In multiferroic BiFeO3 thin films grown on highly mismatched LaAlO3 substrates, we reveal the coexistence of two differently distorted polymorphs that leads to striking features in the temperature dependence of the structural and…
Deterministically controllable multi-state polarizations in ferroelectric materials are promising for the application of next-generation non-volatile multi-state memory devices. However, the achievement of multi-state polarizations has been…
