School of Chemistry Colloquium: Professor Judith Driscoll (University of Cambridge) RSC Prize Lecture: Practical Functional Oxide Thin Films for Electronic Devices

Opportunities of functional oxides for applications in electronics are huge. However, oxides in electronics are quite scarce. The challenges stem from both intrinsic and extrinsic materials problems. Also, current thin film deposition routes cannot always deliver the performance of bulk materials. This talk looks at some of the reasons for the aforementioned challenges, and shows different ways, drawing upon a range of disciplines, to overcome them. Examples will be given showing how to achieve translation of this interdisciplinary basic science to application.

This event is open to final year undergraduate project students, MSc students, PhD students, post-doctoral research associates and academic staff.
