oxideelectronic
Oxide electronics is a branch of materials science and electrical engineering that studies and exploits oxide-based materials for electronic devices. It covers oxide semiconductors, insulators, ferroelectrics, and superconductors, ranging from simple binary oxides such as ZnO, Ga2O3, and SnO2 to complex transition-metal and perovskite oxides like SrTiO3, BaTiO3, LaAlO3, and layered oxides. These materials offer a wide variety of functionalities, including wide or tunable band gaps, high dielectric constants, ferroelectric polarization, strong electron correlations, and in some cases oxide ion or proton transport.
Key topics in oxide electronics include oxide-based transistors and diodes, transparent conducting oxides for displays and
Materials science and device fabrication are central to the field. Techniques such as pulsed laser deposition,
Applications span transparent electronics, sensors, memory technologies, energy devices (including solid oxide fuel cells and electrolyzers),
