In recent years I have worked on the characterization and controlled manipulation of photoactive materials. Determining the sensing or photocatalytic efficiency is the most important part of characterizing photoactive materials and evaluating their performance. Measuring these characteristics in epitaxial thin films is still challenging, but my research has shown that properties can be critically affected by internal and external parameters, such as morphology, strain, charge carrier doping, disorder, and strain. Recently, I have shifted my focus toward the functional control of optical properties. For example, I have shown that straining the lattice of oxide semiconductors can result in a substantial lowering of the optical band gap. I have demonstrated this behavior for a simple binary oxide, SnO2, as well as for the more complex WO3 and BiFeO3 with a perovskite-like structure. My findings show that strain engineering in thin films is an effective route to control band gaps and band alignments, a prerequisite to improving existing photocatalytic devices. In the future. I want to use my expertise in this rising research field to apply strain engineering to photoactive materials. The impact of single-axis lattice expansion on the optical response of perovskite-type BiFeO3 films was examined in my recent paper published in Nano Letters 2019. Low-energy He implantation is used to tailor morphotropic phases of BiFeO3 films and study changes in their structural properties with continuously increasing lattice expansion.
