Description
Oxford University Multifunctional Oxide Heterostructures by EVGENY Y. TSYMBAL, ELBIO R. A. DAGOTTO, CHANG-BEOM EOM, AND RAMAMOORTHY RAMESH
This book is devoted to the rapidly developing field of oxide thin-films and heterostructures. Oxide materials combined with atomic-scale precision in a heterostructure exhibit an abundance of macroscopic physical properties involving the strong coupling between the electronic, spin, and structural degrees of freedom, and the interplay between magnetism, ferroelectricity, and conductivity. Recent advances in thin-film deposition and characterization techniques made_x000D_possible the experimental realization of such oxide heterostructures, promising novel functionalities and device concepts. _x000D__x000D_The book consists of chapters on some of the key innovations in the field over recent years, including strongly correlated oxide heterostructures, magnetoelectric coupling and multiferroic materials, thermoelectric phenomena, and two-dimensional electron gases at oxide interfaces. The book covers the core principles, describes experimental approaches to fabricate and characterize oxide heterostructures, demonstrates new functional properties of these materials, and provides an overview of novel_x000D_applications._x000D_ Table of Contents:- _x000D_
