Discovery of a new weberite-type antiferroelectric: La3NbO7

Louis Alaerts, Jesse Schimpf, Xinyan Li +7

Antiferroelectrics are antipolar materials which possess an electric field-induced phase transition to a polar, ferroelectric phase and offer significant potential for sensing/actu…

Direct determination of antiferroelectric-to-ferroelectric phase transition pathways in PbZrO with Operando Electron Microscopy

Menglin Zhu, Michael Xu, Louis Alaerts +5

Under a sufficiently high applied electric field, a non-polar antiferroelectric material, such as \ce{PbZrO3}, can undergo a rapid transformation to a polar ferroelectric phase. Wh…

First principles computations of the Stark shift of a defect-bound exciton: the case of the T center in silicon

Louis Alaerts, Yihuang Xiong, Sinéad M. Griffin +1

The T center in silicon has recently drawn a lot of attention for its potential in quantum information science. The sensitivity of the zero-phonon line (ZPL) to electrical field wa…

Optical transition parameters of the silicon T centre

Chloe Clear, Sara Hosseini, Amirhossein AlizadehKhaledi +14

The silicon T centre's narrow, telecommunications-band optical emission, long spin coherence, and direct photonic integration have spurred interest in this emitter as a spin-photon…

A first principles study of the Stark shift effect on the zero-phonon line of the NV center in diamond

Louis Alaerts, Yihuang Xiong, Sinéad Griffin +1

Point defects in semiconductors are attractive candidates for quantum information science applications owing to their ability to act as spin-photon interface or single-photon emitt…

Ferroelectricity and multiferroicity in anti-Ruddlesden-Popper structures

Maxime Markov, Louis Alaerts, Henrique P. C. Miranda +7

Combining ferroelectricity with other properties such as visible light absorption or long-range magnetic order requires the discovery of new families of ferroelectric materials. He…
