Ferroelectrics, with their spontaneous switchable electric polarization and strong coupling
between their electrical, mechanical, thermal, and optical responses, provide functionalities …

Scientific interest in atomically controlled layer-by-layer fabrication of transition metal oxide
thin films and heterostructures has increased intensely in recent decades for basic physics …

Using epitaxy and the misfit strain imposed by an underlying substrate, it is possible to
elastically strain oxide thin films to percent levels—far beyond where they would crack in …

We report that a deionized water leaching and thermal annealing technique can be effective
for preparing atomically flat and singly terminated surfaces of single crystalline SrTiO 3 …

After the discovery of the perovskite high T c superconductors in 1986, a rare and almost
unknown deposition technique attracted attention. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD), or laser …

We have studied the surface termination of atomically flat SrTiO3 surfaces treated by
chemical etching and subsequent thermal annealing, for all commercially available …

The growth of high quality, gate‐tunable topological insulator Bi2Se3 thin films on SrTiO3
substrates by molecular beam epitaxy is reported in this paper. The optimized substrate …

In this paper, the review of recent results of calculations of surface relaxations, energetics,
and bonding properties for ABO 3 perovskite (001),(011) and (111) surfaces using mostly a …

We review recent developments and advances in the synthesis of thin-film multiferroic and
magnetoelectric heterostructures. Driven by the promise of new materials with built-in useful …

We report the existence of confined electronic states at the (110) and (111) surfaces of SrTiO
3. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we find that the corresponding Fermi …
