Electronic and Optical Properties of Doped Complex Oxide Epitaxial Films and Interfaces
EMSL Project ID
47425
Abstract
The effect of A-cation site and anion-site doping, as well as heteroepitaxial interface formation, on the electronic and optical properties of La-based perovskites will be investigated. Specimens prepared by molecular beam epitaxy and off-axis pulsed laser deposition will be characterized to accurately determine composition, structural parameters and interface abruptness. These materials properties will then be correlated with optical absorption, photoconductivity and electronic transport properties to gain an in-depth understanding of the cause-and-effect relationships at work.
