Crystallography of periodic nanotextures in a strained Mott insulator
Benjamin Z. Gregory, Yorick A. Birkhölzer, Noah Schnitzer +9
Here we investigate stripes of alternating structural phases spontaneously forming in epitaxially strained thin films below the metal-insulator transition. Using large-…
Martensitic laminate geometry controls electronic phase transitions in a Mott insulator
Ziming Shao, Benjamin Gregory, Suchismita Sarker +4
Symmetry-lowering structural phase transitions result in multiple degenerate structures whose coexistence is determined by macroscopic strain compatibility. In quantum materials, t…
A weighted quantile filter based framework for interface optimal design problems
Sihao Cheng, Ziming Shao, Dong Wang
We present a robust and efficient numerical framework based on a median filter scheme for solving a broad class of interface optimal design problems, from image segmentation to top…
Picosecond expansion in LaAlO3 resonantly driven by infrared-active phonons
Jakob Gollwitzer, Jeffrey Z. Kaaret, Y. Eren Suyolcu +19
We investigate the ultrafast structural dynamics of LaAlO3 thin films driven by short mid-infrared laser pulses at 20 THz. Time-resolved X-ray diffraction reveals an immediate latt…
Spontaneous supercrystal formation during a strain-engineered metal-insulator transition
O. Yu. Gorobtsov, L. Miao, Z. Shao +13
Mott metal-insulator transitions possess electronic, magnetic, and structural degrees of freedom promising next generation energy-efficient electronics. We report a previously unkn…
