Nanoscale self-organisation and metastable non-thermal metallicity in Mott insulators
Andrea Ronchi, Paolo Franceschini, Andrea De Poli +10
Mott transitions in real materials are first order and almost always associated with lattice distortions, both features promoting the emergence of nanotextured phases. This nanosca…
Room temperature Mott metal-insulator transition in V2O3 compounds induced via strain-engineering
P. Homm, M. Menghini, J. W. Seo +2
Vanadium sesquioxide (V2O3) is an archetypal Mott insulator in which the atomic positions and electron correlations change as temperature, pressure or doping are varied giving rise…
Non-thermal light-assisted resistance collapse in a VO-based Mott-insulator device
Andrea Ronchi, Paolo Franceschini, Pia Homm +7
The insulator-to-metal transition in Mott insulators is the key mechanism for a novel class of electronic devices, belonging to the Mottronics family. Intense research efforts are…
Temporal dynamics of all-optical switching in hybrid VO2/Si waveguides
Jorge Parra, Todora Ivanova, Mariela Menghini +3
Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is one of the most promising materials for developing hybrid photonic integrated devices (PICs). However, despite switching times as low as a few femtosecond…
Early-stage dynamics of metallic droplets embedded in the nanotextured Mott insulating phase of VO
Andrea Ronchi, Pía Homm, Mariela Menghini +10
Unveiling the physics that governs the intertwining between the nanoscale self-organization and the dynamics of insulator-to-metal transitions (\textit{IMT}) is key for controlling…
Ultrafast orbital manipulation and Mott physics in multi-band correlated materials
Andrea Ronchi, Paolo Franceschini, Laura Fanfarillo +12
Multiorbital correlated materials are often on the verge of multiple electronic phases (metallic, insulating, super- conducting, charge and orbitally ordered), which can be explore…
Collapse of the low temperature insulating state in Cr-doped VO thin films
Pía Homm, Leander Dillemans, Mariela Menghini +10
We have grown epitaxial Cr-doped VO thin films with Cr concentrations between and on -AlO by oxygen-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. For the high…
