Ferroelectric--Superconducting Interaction in Epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7-δ/BaTiO3 Films

Louis Oppong-Antwi, David L. Cortie, Qi Zhang +4

Microscopic theories predict that the critical temperature of a superconducting layer can be strongly modified in proximity to a ferroelectric; however, experimental evidence is la…

Motion and teleportation of polar bubbles in ultra-thin ferroelectrics

S. Prokhorenko, Y. Nahas, Q. Zhang +3

Polar bubble domains are complex topological defects akin to magnetic skyrmions that can spontaneously form in ferroelectric thin films and superlattices. They can be deterministic…

An empirical approach to measuring interface energies in mixed-phase bismuth ferrite

Stuart R. Burns, Oliver Paull, Ralph Bulanadi +4

In complex oxide heteroepitaxy, strain engineering is a powerful tool to obtain phases in thin films that may be otherwise unstable in bulk. A successful example of this approach i…
