”Understanding Complex Oxide Interfaces with Atomic Precision“
Jiandi Zhang, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Louisiana State University
A defining characteristic of complex transition metal oxides (TMOs) is that they contain incomplete d subshells thus having multiple of possible ground states. It has become increasingly clear that surfaces, interfaces, thin films and
heterostructures of TMOs display a rich diversity of fascinating properties that are related, but not identical to, the bulk phenomena, while the origin is still fiercely contested.
In this talk, I will introduce our ability in growing high quality thin films with atomically sharp interfaces, as well as powerful tools to characterize their properties down to atomic resolution. I will use several examples to illustrate that,
such combination of growth and characterization techniques not only allow us to discover the unknown origin of conventional interface, but widely expand the opportunities to explore unconventional interfaces and search for novel
quantum functionalities.
