Physical properties of oxide thin films and heterostructuresThe proposed research will explore oxide materials and complex structures based on oxides that present physical properties influenced by the strong electronic correlations. All the projects involve the growth of oxide thin films as monolayers or heterostructures (multilayers) made of several materials. We will create new structures designed to entwine the electronic phases of these various oxides and study their competition, their coexistence and even their cooperation in the emergence of novel electronic states of matter. In summary, the projects will focus on: 1) superconducting electron-doped (n-type) cuprates by probing properties targeting the unexplained origin of high temperature superconductivity; 2) magnetic oxides showing large magnetocaloric effect, of great interest for magnetic refrigeration applications. These projects will help deepen our understanding of emerging novel electronic phases of matter induced by strong electron-electron interactions in oxides. Several projects could also contribute to the development of a new expertise in the fabrication and design of devices for potential applications in the fields of nanotechnology, electronics, telecommunications, medical science, security and energy transport and storage.

氧化物薄膜和异质结构的物理性质拟议的研究将探索氧化物材料和基于氧化物的复杂结构，这些氧化物的物理性质受强电子相关性的影响。所有项目都涉及由多种材料制成的单层或异质结构（多层）氧化物薄膜的生长。我们将创建新的结构来缠绕这些不同氧化物的电子相，并研究它们的竞争、共存，甚至它们在新型物质电子态出现中的合作。总之，这些项目将重点关注：1）超导电子掺杂（n型）铜酸盐，通过探测高温超导性无法解释的起源的特性； 2）磁性氧化物表现出巨大的磁热效应，对于磁制冷应用具有很大的意义。这些项目将有助于加深我们对氧化物中强电子-电子相互作用引起的新兴物质电子相的理解。一些项目还可以有助于开发设备制造和设计方面的新专业知识，以用于纳米技术、电子、电信、医学、安全以及能源运输和存储领域的潜在应用。
