Oxide Thin films for various Electronic, Optical and Heath Applications

Metal oxides often having a perovskite structure form a wide and technologically important class of compounds. In these systems, ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, ferroelastic, or even orbital and charge orderings can develop and eventually coexist. These orderings can be tuned by external electric, magnetic, or stress field, and the cross-couplings between them enable important multifunctional properties, such as piezoelectricity, or magneto-elasticity. Here, we will present how oxide thins films can be grown on different types of substrates including polycrystalline substrates, and glass templates. Examples will given to show different applications that can be utilized for medical, optical or electronic.
