• Defect Engineering in Plasmonic Metal Oxide Nanocrystals 

      Runnerstom, Evan J; Bergerud, Amy; Agrawal, Ankit; Johns, Robert W.; Dahlman, Clayton J.; Singh, Ajay; Selbach, Sverre Magnus; Milliron, Delia J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Defects may tend to make crystals interesting but they do not always improve performance. In doped metal oxide nanocrystals with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), aliovalent dopants and oxygen vacancies act as ...
    • Observation of uncompensated bound charges at improper ferroelectric domain walls 

      Schoenherr, Peggy; Shapovalov, Konstantin; Schaab, Jakob; Yan, Zewu; Bourret, Edith; Hentschel, Mario; Stengel, Massimiliano; Fiebig, Manfred; Cano, Andrés; Meier, Dennis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Low-temperature electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) is used to probe unconventional domain walls in the improper ferroelectric semiconductor Er0.99Ca0.01MnO3 down to cryogenic temperatures. The low-temperature EFM maps ...
    • Propagation Length of Antiferromagnetic Magnons Governed by Domain Configurations
