Investigation of the structural, chemical and magnetic state of the metal/oxide interface in composite multiferroics KU Leuven
Metal/oxide interface is a fundamental component in many devices such as magnetic sensors, piezoelectric transducers, and capacitors. The electrical properties of metal/oxide heterostructures are determined by the type of contact formed at the interface, i.e. Schottky or Ohmic contact. As devices are becoming smaller in size, interfaces are becoming even more important due to an increase in the surface to volume ratio. The metal/oxide ...
