Electron-Beam Writing of Atomic-Scale Reconstructions at Oxide Interfaces

Accepted in Nanoletters

The epitaxial growth of complex oxides enables the production of high-quality films, yet substrate choice is restricted to certain symmetry and lattice parameters, thereby limiting the technological…

Role of the coupling of the electronic transitions on the order of the metal-to-insulator phase transition in nickelates

APL Mater. 12, 081120 (2024)

Rare-earth nickelates (chemical formula RNiO3, R being a rare-earth cation) display a temperature-dependent metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) together with a breathing distortion of the…

Mapping orthorhombic domains with geometrical phase analysis in rare-earth nickelate heterostructures

Mundet et al. – APL Mater. 12, 031124 (2024)

Most perovskite oxides belong to the Pbnm space group, composed of an anisotropic unit cell, A-site antipolar displacements, and oxygen octahedral tilts. Mapping the orientation of the orthorhombic unit cell…

Structural study of nickelate based heterostructures

Varbaro et al. – APL Mater. 12, 031104 (2024)

Heterostructures consisting of SmNiO3 and NdNiO3 alternating layers with additional LaAlO3 spacer layers were grown and fully characterized by means of x-ray diffraction,…

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,…
