Conclusions and Perspectives

Abstract

Transition metal oxides very often have rich phase diagrams owing to the comparable energy scales of the relevant microscopic interactions. Heterostructuring is one of the most tangible ways in which the correlated phases can be manipulated. Emerging from this fascinating intersection of oxide physics and thin film physics are often novel phenomena that can be turned into innovative functionalities. On the other side of the same coin, however, is the challenge in understanding the physics that governs these systems.
