Matthew Dawber, Stony Brook University. One approach to developing the functional materials of the future is to build them up layer by layer using deposition techniques that allow control of thickness on the scale of angstroms. In my laboratory, we use this approach to design artificial superlattice structures based on ferroelectric perovskite oxides in which the competing behaviors of the parent materials we use interact in just the right way to produce new or enhanced functional responses.
