Abstract:
Yale University has a National Science Foundation Materials Research and Engineering Center (MRSEC), the Center for Research on Interface Structures and Phenomena (CRISP). A major thrust of that Center concerns oxide/oxide and oxide/semiconductor interfaces and the properties of complex metal oxides. The research ranges from fundamental experimental and theoretical studies to the design of novel electronic and optical devices. This talk will describe three of the CRISP basic research areas: oxide/oxide interface electronic structure; modification of the electronic properties of complex oxides; and non-contact atomic force microscopy on oxides.
