Abstract:
Epitaxial heterostructures of complex oxides have attracted much attention due to their enormous range of electrical, magnetic and optical properties. For example, metallic conductors, dielectrics, ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, semiconductors, ferromagnetics, superconductors, non-linear optics and multiferroics have been demonstrated in perovskite oxides. Moreover, novel phenomena can emerge at the atomically-engineered heterointerfaces through the symmetry-breaking. Such a variety of functionalities are often coupled with each other, enabling new ways of controlling the properties. To understand the fundamental physics and utilize novel functionalities, it is essential to synthesize the high-quality epitaxial heterostructures. In this talk, I will introduce my personal experiences that I struggled to make “good sample” during my Ph.D. course. This talk is designed to encourage graduate students who are facing a big barrier in their researches.
