Abstract:
This symposium covers recent advances in oxide thin films, heterostructures, and nanocomposites. Topics include epitaxy of complex oxides, strain-stabilization, heterointerface engineering, emergent interfacial properties, new materials, field tunable responses, advanced characterizations, device applications, and extensions to performance limits. Contributions that connect advances in synthesis science to structure and property trends are of particular interest, as are those which link theoretical/computational and experimental efforts. The goal is to create an international and interdisciplinary forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers from industry, academia, and national laboratories to exchange ideas and foster collaboration. Broad areas of interest include: the theoretical understanding and design of material properties using first principles-based methods to enhance and inform synthesis; stabilization of new structures and useful functionality through strain and heterointerface engineering within multilayers and vertically aligned nanocomposites; emergent properties in high entropy complex oxides; understanding the relationship between process space and equilibrium defect chemistry; strain induced defects and interfacial microstructure and their relationships to material properties; device fabrication and applications in energy harvesting, memories, sensors, etc. Specific properties of interest are magnetic, electronic, electrochemical, and photonic responses, as well as thermal transport phenomena, including strong correlation and quantum-confinement effects.
