Self-assembly of oxides as a bottom-up approach to functional nanostructures goes beyond
the conventional nanostructure formation based on lithographic techniques. Particularly …

Combining temperature-dependent x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and first-
principles-based effective Hamiltonian calculations, we show that varying the thickness of …

The analysis of x-ray reflectivity data from artificial heterostructures usually relies on the
homogeneity of optical properties of the constituent materials. However, when the x-ray …

We report on the optimisation of the growth conditions of manganite La0. 7Sr0. 3MnO3 thin
films prepared by Channel Spark Ablation (CSA). CSA belongs to pulsed electron …

Vertically aligned nanocomposite thin films comprising antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric
LuFeO3 and ferrimagnetic Co x Fe3–x O4 are synthesized by a codeposition method using …

A self‐assembled three phase epitaxial nanocomposite film is grown consisting of≈ 3 nm
diameter fcc metallic Cu nanorods within square prismatic SrO rocksalt nanopillars in a Sr …

The crucial role of interface engineering in controlling functionality has been well
documented in the (001)-orientated perovskite oxide heterostructures; however, limited …

We present a single-step route to generate ordered nanocomposite thin films of secondary
phase inclusions (Mn3O4) in a pristine perovskite matrix (LaMnO3) by taking advantage of …

The effect of ferromagnetic buffer layer on the superconducting properties of relatively thick,
high temperature superconductors is investigated. Elaborately designed heterostructure …

Epitaxial bilayer structure consisting of ferromagnetic metallic Pr 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 (PSMO)
and charge-ordered insulator La 0.5 Ca 0.5 MnO 3 (LCMO) was fabricated on (001) SrTiO 3 …
