Oxide materials display within the same family of compounds a variety of exciting electronic properties ranging from ferroelectricity to ferromagnetism and superconductivity. These systems are often characterized by strong electronic correlations, complex phase diagrams and competing ground states. This competition makes these materials very sensitive to external parameters such as pressure or...

TiO2 has a wide range of applications. It is used as pigments in paints, sunscreen and food products, and as a photocatalyst, where doping by ion-implantation has been found useful to tailor the photocatalytic properties. TiO2 is used as a host for the upconversion process and in recent years there have been reports on dilute magnetism in this system, where the charge state of Fe is of...

Magnetoelectric materials experience a renewed interest due to its enhanced multifunctional properties, which are extremely appealing for technological applications into memories that could be written electrically and read magnetically or vice-versa [1,2]. Such properties can be affected by local distortions at the atomic scale, therefore requiring understanding the role of the local, polar...

Although vacancy-type defects are known to getter transition metals (TMs) in silicon, detailed information on their interaction, e.g. the lattice sites occupied by the TM trapped in the defects, is still poor. Emission Channeling (EC) is a technique that allows us to obtain the preferred sites of the TMs inside these vacancy-type complexes by implanting single crystals with radioactive probe...
