Freestanding perovskite films reach a new low

By Lisa McDonald / June 18, 2019

Must perovskite oxide films consist of a minimum number of layers to retain stability? Researchers in China and the United States found a specific deposition technique lets them deposit freestanding perovskite sheets thinner than a suggested critical limit.

Perovskite oxide with record high conductivity could replace indium tin oxide in display screens and beyond

By April Gocha / May 9, 2017

Researchers from the University of Minnesota and beyond may have found the ideal indium tin oxide replacement in a transparent perovskite oxide material that displays record high conductivity despite having a wide bandgap.

Move over silicon: Magnetoelectric multiferroics and tiny transistors could enable faster computers that consume less power

By April Gocha / October 18, 2016

The continuing trend for electronics is to pack more power into a smaller device that requires less energy input. Two significant materials research advances—one published in Nature and one published in Science—are moving precisely in that direction.
