Leibniz ScienceCampus: Growth and Fundamentals of Oxides for Electronic Applications (GraFOx)

Oxides are among the materials with the widest tunability of physical properties. Spanning insulators, semiconductors, metallic conductors and superconductors, magnetic materials, ferro-/antiferro- and other dielectrics, oxides are a materials class with high potential for a new generation of electronic devices and energy applications. These applications can very likely show outstanding properties. Initially, the emerging class of sesquioxides (In2O3, Ga2O3 and Al2O3) and their alloys will be the main focus of our work while the more complex and versatile class of perovskites, e.g. SrTiO3, LaAlO3, BaSnO3 will increasingly be addressed.
