Functionality of oxidic interfaces
The Collaborative Research Center 762 „Functionality of oxidic interfaces“ is a joint venture of Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), Leipzig University, Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, and Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft since 2008. It is devoted to preparation and characterization of multifunctional oxidic heterostructures consisting of components with ferroelectric, magnetic, semiconducting, and insulating properties. The coordinator is Prof. Dr. Ingrid Mertig (MLU).
