Epitaxial Growth of Complex Metal Oxides

Epitaxial Growth of Complex Metal Oxides, Second Edition reviews techniques and recent developments in the fabrication quality of complex metal oxides, which are facilitating advances in electronic, magnetic, and optical applications.

Part One reviews the key techniques involved in the epitaxial growth of complex metal oxides, while Part Two goes on to explore the effects of strain and stoichiometry on crystal structure and related properties, in thin film oxides. Finally, the book concludes by discussing selected examples of important applications of complex metal oxide thin films in Part Three such as optoelectronics, batteries, spintronics and neuromorphic applications.

This new edition has been fully updated, with brand new chapters on topics including atomic layer deposition, interfaces, STEM-EELs, and the epitaxial growth of multiferroics, ferroelectrics, and nanocomposites.
