题目：Nanoscale Engineering of Epitaxial Metal Oxide Thin Films and Heterostructures

报告人：Prof. Xiaoxing Xi （Department of Physics, Temple University, Philadelphia，USA）

摘要：

Phenomena in nanoscale metal oxides and at oxide interfaces have attracted substantial attention in recent years. The advance in oxide thin film technology has allowed growth of nanoscale oxide ultrathin films and heterostructures with extremely high structural quality. As an example, I will discuss key technical aspects in the growth of nanoscale BaTiO₃/SrTiO₃ superlattices using Oxide Molecular Beam Epitaxy (Oxide MBE). The recent progress in the Laser MBE growth of oxide films at Temple University will also be presented.

Prof. Xiaoxing Xi 简介：

Xiaoxing Xi is the Laura H. Carnell Professor of Physics at Temple University. Prior to joining Temple in 2009, he was a Professor of Physics and Materials Science and Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University. He received his PhD degree in physics from Peking University and Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Science, in 1987. After several years of research at the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center, Germany, Bell Communication Research/Rutgers University, and University of Maryland, he joined the faculty of the Department of Physics at Penn State in 1995. He was a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award and a Chang Jiang Scholar at Tsinghua University, China. His research focuses on the materials physics relating to metal-oxide and boride thin films. He has published over 300 papers in refereed journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings, and holds three patents in the area of thin films of high Tc superconductors and magnesium diboride.
