The La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 and STO thin films were grown with a single [110] out-of-plane orientation and with two in-plane domain variants, which is confirmed by XRD and detailed TEM studies. The growth of STO on c-YSZ can be explained by the paradigm of domain matching epitaxy. The epitaxial relationship between STO and c-YSZ can be written as [110] (001) c-YSZ ‖ [1¯11¯] (110) STO (or) [110] (001) c-YSZ ‖ [1¯12¯] (110) STO. The La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films are ferromagnetic with Curie temperature 324 K and showed metal to insulator transition at 285 K. The La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films showed hysteresis loops in magnetoresistance when magnetic field is applied along both in-plane (110) and out-of-plane [110] directions. The highest magnetoresistance obtained in this study is −32% at 50 K and 50 kOe for in-plane configuration, whereas the room-temperature magnetoresistance is −4% at 10 kOe and −17% at 50 kOe. The hysteresis in the magnetoresistance and the controlled domain boundaries in bi-epitaxial La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 films integrated on Si can offer significant advantages over the polycrystalline counterparts.}, journal={ACTA MATERIALIA}, author={Punugupati, Sandhyarani and Kumar, Raj and Nori, Sudhakar and Hunte, Frank and Narayan, Jagdish}, year={2016}, month={Mar}, pages={40–47} } @article{punugupati_narayan_hunte_2015, title={Room temperature ferromagnetism in epitaxial Cr2O3 thin films grown on r-sapphire}, volume={117}, number={19}, journal={Journal of Applied Physics}, author={Punugupati, S. and Narayan, J. and Hunte, F.}, year={2015} } @misc{lee_punugupati_wu_jin_narayan_schwartz_2014, title={Evidence for topological surface states in epitaxial Bi2Se3 thin film grown by pulsed laser deposition through magneto-transport measurements}, volume={18}, ISSN={["1879-0348"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.cossms.2014.07.001}, abstractNote={We report epitaxial growth via domain matching epitaxy of Bi2Se3 thin films on Al2O3 (0 0 0 1) substrates with over 13% lattice misfit and critical thickness less than one monolayer.

X-ray photoemission spectroscopy reveals that the films are Se-deficient, in agreement with electrical transport data showing n-type carriers and metallic behavior. Magneto-resistance (MR) measurements show a cusp feature corresponding to weak antilocalization and linear-MR shows a non-saturating trend up to 9 T. These results suggest topological surface states in PLD-grown Bi2Se3 films.}, number={5}, journal={CURRENT OPINION IN SOLID STATE & MATERIALS SCIENCE}, author={Lee, Y.

The X-ray diffraction (2ϴ and Φ) and TEM characterizations confirm that the films were grown epitaxially. The Cr2O3(0001) growth on YSZ(001) occurs with twin domains. There are four domains of Cr2O3 with in-plane rotation of 30° or 150° from each other about the [0001] growth direction. The epitaxial relation between the layers is given as [001]Si ‖ [001]YSZ ‖ [0001]Cr2O3 and [100]Si ǁ [100]YSZ ǁ [101¯0] Cr2O3 or [112¯0] Cr2O3. Though the bulk Cr2O3 is an antiferromagnetic with TN = 307 K, we found that the films exhibit ferromagnetic like hysteresis loops with high saturation and finite coercive field up to 400 K. The thickness dependent magnetizations together with oxygen annealing results suggest that the ferromagnetism (FM) is due to oxygen related defects whose concentration is controlled by strain present in the films. This FM, in addition to the intrinsic magneto-electric properties of Cr2O3, opens the door to relevant spintronics applications.}, number={13}, journal={Applied Physics Letters}, publisher={AIP Publishing}, author={Punugupati, Sandhyarani and Narayan, Jagdish and Hunte, Frank}, year={2014}, month={Sep}, pages={132401} } @article{punugupati_temizer_narayan_hunte_2014, title={Structural and resistance switching properties of epitaxial Pt/ZnO/TiN/Si(001) heterostructures}, volume={115}, number={23}, journal={Journal of Applied Physics}, author={Punugupati, S. and Temizer, N.
