Phase transitions in ultra-thin epitaxial polar oxide films.

在这个项目中，我们将利用先进的薄膜制备和表征技术(如原位X射线衍射)和最先进的计算材料科学工具。因此，该项目将为研究生和年轻研究人员提供前沿研究，促进澳大利亚在基础材料科学方面的巨大潜力。它将具有免费专业知识领域的早期职业研究人员聚集在一起，相互交流。它强调跨学科研究和跨三大洲的研究思想交流，从而为年轻研究人员提供了理想的培训场所，他们有望在未来对基础和应用研究做出重大贡献。

In this project we will utilize sophisticated thin film fabrication and characterization techniques( such as in-situ x-ray diffraction) and the most advanced computational materials science tools. Therefore this project will provide postgraduates and young researchers to cutting edge research, boosting the enormous potential of Australia in basic materials science. It brings together early career researchers with complimentary expertise areas to interact with each other. It emphasizes cross-disciplinary research and exchange of research ideas across three continents; thus providing the ideal training ground for young researchers who are expected to make a major contribution to both, fundamental and applied research in the future.
