Dear Colleagues,

We are now soliciting nominations for invited speakers for the DMP focus topic "13.01.03 Complex Oxide Interfaces and Heterostructures" for the 2022 APS March Meeting. The nomination period is July 1 - August 13. If you would like to suggest anyone (including yourself) for an invited talk, please submit a nomination through the online platform (https://march.aps.org/) or e-mail their name(s) and a short justification along with relevant citations (2000 characters max) directly to Ankit Disa ([email protected]). Please note that last year's invited speakers are not eligible to give invited talks this year. Serving a diverse and inclusive community of physicists worldwide is a primary goal for APS. Nominations of women, members of under-represented minority groups, and scientists from outside the United States are especially encouraged.

Please find the description of the focus topic below. We also encourage you to submit your contributed abstracts to this session for the 2022 meeting and hope you will pass the message along to your colleagues. If you have any questions, please let us know. We look forward to getting input from the community to help make the meeting a success!

Best wishes,

Ankit Disa, Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter

13.01.03: Complex Oxide Interfaces and Heterostructures (DMP)
Organizers: Ankit Disa (Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter) [email protected]; Charles Ahn (Yale) [email protected]; Nicole Benedek (Cornell) [email protected]

Emergent electronic and magnetic states at complex oxide interfaces raise exciting prospects for new fundamental physics and technological applications. These novel properties arise as a result of interfacial charge transfer, exchange coupling, orbital reconstructions, proximity effects, dimensionality, and mechanical and electric boundary conditions. This Focus Topic is dedicated to progress in the fabrication, methodologies, and knowledge in the field of complex oxide thin films, heterostructures, superlattices, and nanostructures. Synthesis, characterization, theory, and novel device physics are emphasized. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:  the growth of novel oxide thin films and heterostructures; the control of magnetic, electronic, ordering, ionic conduction, phase transitions, interfacial superconductivity, multiferroicity, magnetotransport, spin-orbit coupling properties; and developments in theoretical prediction and materials-by-design approaches. Advances in techniques to probe and image electronic, structural, and magnetic states at heterostructure interfaces are also emphasized. Note that overlap exists with other DMP and GMAG focus sessions. As a rule of thumb, if complex oxides and their heterostructures are at the core of the investigation, then the talk is appropriate for this focus topic.
