Films, Interfaces, and Nanostructures of Oxides and Chalcogenides Lab Posts

I am thrilled to announce that this August, our research group, the Films, Interfaces, and Nanostructures of Oxides (FINO) Lab, will be moving to the University of Delaware Department of Materials Science and Engineering! This is a really exciting move that will allow us to expand our research and work…

Congrats to Gaurab Rimal and Tanzila Tasnim on their new paper out on the Kondo effect in SrIrO3 thin films in Physical Review Materials as a Letter! They’ve shown that epitaxial strain, in the form of different substrates, plays a key role in mediating a Kondo insulating state in SrIrO3.…

In a new direction for the FINO Lab, a paper led by Bhavesh Ramkorun through our collaboration with Profs. Ed Thomas and Saikat Chakraborty Thakur is out in Applied Physics Letters. This work combines the dusty plasma physics research in their group with the oxide materials synthesis in ours for…

The invited review that former FINO Lab postdoc Gaurab Rimal (now Assistant Professor at Western Michigan) and Prof. Comes co-wrote is out in Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics! In the article, we discussed the various new techniques for synthesis of “quantum” complex oxides. Hybrid/metalorganic MBE, thermal laser epitaxy, and…

We have a new computational paper out in Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter to celebrate the start of the year, led by Sharad Mahatara and Boris Kiefer. This work looks at the prospect of interfacial charge transfer from SrTaO3 to wide bandgap stannate films, including SrSnO3 and BaSnO3. SrTaO3 is a powerful electronic…
