Nishikawa H., Iwata N., Endo T., Takamura Y., Lee G.-H., Mele P. (Eds.) Correlated Functional Oxides: Nanocomposites and Heterostructures

Springer International Publishing AG, 2017. — 241 p. — ISBN: 9783319437774Future electronics will increasingly rely on oxide materials because of their unique functions. With advances in the synthesis and characterization of oxide thin films and nanostructures has come the observation of exciting new materials phenomena. The parallel fields of oxide heteroepitaxy and nanomaterials both exploit surfaces, interfaces, and boundaries in materials to achieve better performance and new properties. Core to both fields is the ability to control these structures at unprecedented atomic levels. Because of these common themes, we aimed to bring together researchers from both communities to identify and illuminate new areas of interaction and collaboration. The combined expertise of the two fields was explored and connected to major challenges across the disciplines. At their core, the ability to control multi-layered oxide thin film heterostructures to possess well-defined surfaces and interfaces makes them a novel extension and an ideal form of nanocomposite systems. This symposium, in articular, focused on correlated electron phenomena in such nano- and heterostructures.Functional Iron Oxides and Their Heterostructures
