2025 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit

Symposium EL05-Frontiers in Low-Dimensional Complex Oxide Materials

Complex oxides host a wide array of emergent phenomena spanning electronic, magnetic, and electrochemical properties. Recent advancements in materials development, particularly within epitaxial thin films and interfaces, have catalyzed novel implications in microelectronics and energy devices. This symposium covers recent advances in the science of complex oxide thin films, heterostructure interfaces, and freestanding membranes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, new materials discovery driven by computational and synthesis sciences, advanced characterization of structures and properties, quantum phenomena in oxide materials, ionic and electronic charge transfer across interfaces, and device applications. Research on novel strain engineering, topological defect structures, and new interfacial phenomena is particularly encouraged. This symposium aims to bring together scientific experts and young scientists with an interest in oxides, fostering interactions and advancing knowledge of emergent functional properties based on low-dimensional oxide materials.

Topics will include:

Advanced synthesis of complex oxide thin films, heterostructures, nanostructures, and membranes
Advanced characterization of complex oxides by microscopy and spectroscopy
Theoretical simulation and modeling of oxide heterostructures
Emergent phenomena in epitaxial and non-epitaxial (twisted) oxide interfaces
Strain-engineering of oxide thin films and membranes
Ferroelectric and multiferroic oxide materials and devices
Unconventional superconductivity in oxides
Oxide materials and devices for neuromorphic computing
Solid-state ionics in oxide materials
Oxide thin films and interfaces for batteries and electrocatalysis
