Wednesday, November 5, 2003, 8:20 am, Room 321/322
Complex oxide materials exhibit a tremendous diversity of behavior, including phenomena that have only been observed in oxides, such as high temperature superconductivity. An even richer spectrum of possibilities becomes available if one combines different complex oxides in epitaxial thin film form to create artificially structured, heterogeneous systems. One can use such materials to electrostatically modulate correlated electron behavior, including superconductivity and magnetism, without introducing chemical or structural disorder. It is also possible to combine complex oxides, such as ferroelectrics, with semiconductors to explore new functionality in semiconducting systems.
