SUMMARY:Phases of Complex Oxides Driven Out of Equilibrium\, R. G. Her
b Condensed Matter Seminar\, John Freeland \, Argonne National Lab
DESCRIPTION:Functional oxides based on the transition metal series dis
play a wide spectrum of remarkable electronic properties including mag
netism\, superconductivity and metal-insulator transitions\, which off
er potential important properties for practical applications including
colossal responses to external fields\, switchable conductivity\, and
efficient energy conversion. However\, under these conditions for app
lication\, these systems tend to be driven far away from the equilibri
um ground-state. In order to harness these materials for the future\,
one of the grand challenges is to understand how to map the non-equilb
rium phase space both to seek conditions where new states emerge but a
lso as a basis for the design of materials that will help meet the ene
rgy needs of the future. In this talk\, I will touch on recent work ra
nging from optical excitation[1\,2] to catalysis[3\,4] to watching how
materials grow[5] as an introduction to how some of the forefront X-r
ay tools are helping us to scratch the surface of this problem.
