The Oxide Lab
The Oxide Lab group focuses on developing next-generation functional oxides that will change future information technology. We design and synthesize oxide thin films and nanostructures for targeted functionalities, including dielectric, ferroelectric, piezoelectric properties, and resistive switching behavior. To understand the fundamental material science, we study the oxides by synchrotron X-ray techniques and scanning probe microscopy. To demonstrate the performance of novel functional oxides, we integrate them into electronic devices for information technology. Specifically, we aim to develop oxide thin films for acoustic filters in 5G/6G wireless network, artificial synapses in neuromorphic computing and low-power sensors in Internet of Things.
