Observation of the orbital inverse Rashba–Edelstein effect

El Hamdi et al. – Nat. Phys. (2023).

The spin–orbit interaction plays an important role in magnetism and in many quantum materials. It is the cornerstone of the physics of many electronic phases that emerge at interfaces because of broken…

Coupling of magnetic phases at nickelate interfaces

Domínguez et al. – Physical Review Materials 7, 065002 (2023)

In this paper we present a model system built out of artificially layered materials, allowing us to understand the interrelation of magnetic phases with the metallic-insulating phase at long length scales,…

Mapping the complex evolution of ferroelastic/ferroelectric domain patterns in epitaxially strained PbTiO3 heterostructures

Lichtensteiger et al. – APL Mater 11, 061126 (2023)

We study the complex ferroelastic/ferroelectric domain structure in the prototypical ferroelectric PbTiO₃ epitaxially strained on (110)_o-oriented DyScO₃ substrates, using a…

Electronic Coupling of Metal-to-Insulator Transitions in Nickelate-Based Heterostructures

Varbaro et al. – Adv. Electron.Mater.2023, 2201291

In rare earth nickelates, the metal-to-insulator transition observed as a function of temperature can be described using an electronic and a structural order parameter. The electronic one is linked to the…

Oxygen isotope effect in VO₂

Rischau et al. – Phys. Rev. B 107, 115139

We investigate the oxygen isotope effect on the VO₂ metal-insulator transition. Using an alternative method, we synthesize V¹⁶O₂ and V¹⁸O₂ crystals,…

Competition between Carrier Injection and Structural Distortions in Electron-Doped Perovskite Nickelate Thin Films

Hadjimichael et al. – Adv. Electron.Mater.2023, 2201182

The discovery of superconductivity in doped infinite-layer nickelate thin films has brought increased attention to the behavior of the doped perovskite phase. Despite this interest, the majority of existing…
