Abstract
Integrating two functional materials through nano-engineering approach in thin film form provides unlimited possibilities in developing new materials with unique functionalities for future electronic and energy applications. The talk focuses on a set of hybrid materials in vertically aligned nanocomposite form with unique functionalities for device applications, including magnetoresistance materials, multiferroics, exchange bias, metamaterials for plasmonics and photonics, high density magnetic storage, high temperature superconductors (HTS), and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). Both oxide-oxide and the newly discovered metallic-oxide hybrid systems will be discussed. Some new findings on new single phase layered oxide systems as multiferroics will also be introduced.
