E-Books →Handbook of Molecular Beam Epitaxy of Oxide Materials (In 3 Volumes) - Volume 1

Oxygen accounts for 50% of the composition of the Earth's crust,making oxides the most common type of compound on the planet'ssurface. Many metal oxides exhibit amazing physical properties
that have a wide variety of applications in technology. This bookdeals with one of the most versatile methods of creating syntheticsingle-crystal thin films of various oxide materials - oxide molecularbeam epitaxy (MBE). Epitaxial growth has clearly revolutionizedsemiconductor technology by enabling us to layer different semicon-ductor materials in specific ways. For oxides, such precise layeredcrystalline growth has played a much more profound role. Oxide
epitaxy has created novel material systems that have no naturalanalogs and has paved the way for a wider application of crystallineoxides in nanotechnology.This book is a collab
