Epitaxial Growth of Complex Metal Oxides, 2nd Edition, is a dedicated reference that examines fabrication techniques and material quality controls for complex metal oxides used in electronic, magnetic, and optical technologies. The text explores how deposition processes influence crystal structures and physical behavior in thin film oxides.
Coverage reviews primary thin film synthesis methods, including molecular beam epitaxy, chemical solution deposition, and sputtering. The book also explains how strain, interfaces, and stoichiometry govern functional properties across crystalline systems.
Prepared for researchers and engineers across academia and manufacturing, the 2022 edition introduces dedicated chapters on atomic layer deposition, interfaces, STEM-EELS, and the growth of multiferroics, ferroelectrics, and nanocomposites.
