Carefully controlled interfaces between two materials can give rise to novel physical phenomena and functionalities not exhibited by either of the constituent materials alone. Modern synthesis methods have yielded high-quantum heterostructures and superlattices of oxide materials with competing quantum many-body states. In order to explore new correlation-driven interface phenomena, our group seeks to understand and manipulate spin, charge and orbital order at oxide interfaces.
