Description:

Title: Adventures with Oxide Interfaces- electronics, magnetism, memory, energy and biology

Speaker: Prof. T. Venkatesan, National University of Singapore

Abstract: I would like to share in this talk a personal close up view of the evolution of this field and where I see it going. The invention of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) process catapulted oxide research to an extraordinary level and we have had three decades of relentless advances in this field of oxide interfaces encompassing a wide range of materials and functionalities . I will cover polar/non-polar oxide interface conductivity, defect induced magnetism, FE tunnel junctions and some recent work on bio-oxide interfaces.
