Stripe pattern formation in Ca2RuO4
We are studying the electronic pattern formation in Ca2RuO4 during metal-insulator transition employing a combination of phase-field simulations taking carrier diffusion and structural distortion and experimental observations by collaborator Professor Basov group at Columbia University. |

Stripe bifurcation behavior in the vicinity of the metallic and the insulating phase, under a minimal double-well Landau potential and linearly distributed driving force. Insulator-metal transition is limited to the top surface of the sample. The depth of the metallic layer hM decreases from left (hM = 0.28 hfilm) to right (hM = 0). |
