Quasicrystalline oxide interfaces by twisting SrTiO3 membranes

Shivasheesh Varshney, Sooho Choo, Huan Liu +34

Quasicrystals reveal that long-range order can exist without translational periodicity, but deterministic routes for designing strongly bonded quasicrystalline interfaces remain un…

Light-Driven Ultrafast Control of Time-Reversal Symmetry in SrTiO3

In Hyeok Choi, Sergei Urazhdin, Shivasheesh Varshney +3

Light-driven control of material symmetry enables the engineering of phenomena forbidden in equilibrium. Although electromagnetic fields have been used to break time-reversal symme…

Wafer-scale High-k SrTiO3 Dielectrics with Rational Barrier-layer Design for Low Leakage and High Charge Density

Majid Mohseni, Shivasheesh Varshney, Seung Gyo Jeong +3

High-k oxides such as SrTiO3 promise large capacitance, but their dielectric response is often limited by leakage currents due to reduced bandgaps. We show that introducing a thin…

Hybrid MBE Route to Adsorption-Controlled Growth of BaTiO3 Membranes with Robust Polarization Switching

S. Choo, S. Varshney, J. Shah +5

Freestanding ferroelectric membranes are promising for flexible electronics, nonvolatile memory, photonics, and spintronics, but their synthesis is challenged by the need for repro…
