Synthesis of epitaxial TaO thin films on AlO by suboxide molecular-beam epitaxy and thermal laser epitaxy
Yorick A. Birkhölzer, Anna S. Park, Noah Schnitzer +28
Tantalum dioxide (TaO2) is a metastable tantalum compound. Here, we report the epitaxial stabilization of TaO2 on Al2O3 (1-102) (r-plane sapphire) substrates using suboxide molecul…
Above Room Temperature Ferroelectricity in Epitaxially Strained KTaO3
Tobias Schwaigert, Salva Salmani-Rezaie, Sankalpa Hazra +9
Epitaxial strain is a powerful means to engineer emergent phenomena in thin films and heterostructures. Here, we demonstrate that KTaO3, a cubic perovskite in bulk form, can be epi…
Large phonon-drag thermopower polarity reversal in Ba-doped KTaO3
Mohamed Nawwar, Samuel Poage, Tobias Schwaigert +6
This study reports the observation of phonon-drag thermopower polarity reversal in Ba-doped KTaO3 thin films, mediated by electron-phonon Umklapp scattering. Epitaxial films with d…
Topotactic oxidation of Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates reveals new structural family: oxygen-intercalated layered perovskites
Dan Ferenc Segedin, Jinkwon Kim, Harrison LaBollita +20
Layered perovskites such as the Dion-Jacobson, Ruddlesden-Popper, and Aurivillius families host a wide range of correlated electron phenomena, from high-temperature superconductivi…
