Research Agenda: The aim of my group is to produce thin films of magnetic, optoelectronic, and catalyst materials using methods like hybrid molecular beam epitaxy-pulsed laser deposition (MBE-PLD) and metal-organic aerosol deposition. We are preparing materials aiming at functional properties and correlating their structure to the functionalities. We make detailed structural characterization of the thin film surface and interface by x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). We perform spectroscopic ellipsometry, photo/electrocatalytic measurements, magnetic characterization, and magnetotransport measurements on thin films to investigate their optoelectronic, magnetic, and energy conversion functionalities.
