Strong tunability of epitaxial relationship and reconstruction at improper ferroelectric interface
Xin Li, Yu Yun, Guodong Ren +4
The atomic structures at epitaxial film-substrate interfaces determine scalability of thin films and can result in new phenomena. However, it is challenging to control the interfac…
Polarization Pinning at Antiphase Boundaries in Multiferroic YbFeO
Guodong Ren, Pravan Omprakash, Xin Li +4
The switching characteristics of ferroelectrics and multiferroics are influenced by the interaction of topological defects with domain-walls. We report on the pinning of polarizati…
Strain Effects in SrHfO Films Grown by Hybrid Molecular Beam Epitaxy
Patrick T. Gemperline, Arashdeep S. Thind, Chunli Tang +5
Perovskite oxides hetero-structures are host to a large number of interesting phenomena such as ferroelectricity and 2D-superconductivity. Ferroelectric perovskite oxides have been…
Improper flexoelectricity in hexagonal rare-earth ferrites
Xin Li, Guodong Ren, Yu Yun +5
Flexoelectricity is a universal effect that generates electric polarization due to broken inversion symmetry caused by local strain gradient. The large strain gradient at nanoscale…
Epitaxial Thin Films of a Chalcogenide Perovskite
Mythili Surendran, Huandong Chen, Boyang Zhao +9
Chalcogenide perovskites have emerged as a new class of electronic materials, but fundamental properties and applications of chalcogenide perovskites remain limited by the lack of…
Direct Observation and Control of Surface Termination in Perovskite Oxide Heterostructures
Thomas Orvis, Tengfei Cao, Mythili Surendran +4
The interfacial behavior of quantum materials leads to emergent phenomena such as two dimensional electron gases, quantum phase transitions, and metastable functional phases. Probe…
