Oxygen defects and their atomic arrangements play a significant role in the physical properties of many transition metal oxides. The exemplary perovskite SrCoO3-δ (P-SCO) is metallic ferromagnetic. However, its daughter phase, brownmillerite SrCoO2.5 (BM-SCO), insulating an antiferromagnet. Moreover, BM-SCO exhibits oxygen vacancy channels (OVCs) that thin films can be oriented either horizontally (H-SCO) or vertically (V-SCO) to film's surface. To date, orientation these OVCs has been...
Non-reciprocal electronic transport in a spatially homogeneous system arises from the simultaneous breaking of inversion and time-reversal symmetries.
