Vertically aligned nanocomposite thin films with ordered two phases, grown epitaxially on
substrates, have attracted tremendous interest in the past decade. These unique …

We review and critique the recent developments on multifunctional oxide materials, which
are gaining a good deal of interest. Recongnizing that this is a vast area, the focus of this …

The electron occupancy of 3d-orbitals determines the properties of transition metal oxides.
This can be achieved, for example, through thin-film heterostructure engineering of AB O3 …

We have performed x-ray linear and circular magnetic dichroism experiments at the Mn L 2,
3 edge of the La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 ultrathin films. Our measurements show that the …

Two-dimensional freestanding thin films of single crystalline oxide perovskites are expected
to have great potential in integration of new features to the current Si-based technology …

The anisotropic thermal and chemical expansion of rhombohedral (R 3̅ c) La1–x Sr x
MnO3+ δ (x= 0.2, 0.3) was investigated by in situ high temperature X-ray diffraction of …

The response of epitaxial CoFe2O4 thin films to biaxial compressive stress imposed by
MgAl2O4 and SrTiO3 single crystalline substrates is studied using X‐ray diffraction and …

Perovskite manganites are viewed as one of the key building blocks of oxide spintronics
devices due to their attractive physical properties. However, cation off‐stoichiometry at …

Strain engineering can be used to tailor the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of La
0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 thin films by varying the tetragonal distortion (⁠ c/a ratio) between a …

Here, using various substrates, we demonstrate that the in-plane uniaxial strain engineering
can enhance the Jahn–Teller distortions and promote selective orbital occupancy to induce …
