Matt Dawber's Group:
Nano-engineered ferroelectrics and other oxides

Matt Dawber's group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University is focused on the growth, characterization and understanding of ferroelectric materials and other oxides. Besides a general interest in ferroelectric materials the focus in this lab is on producing superlattice materials where interfacial coupling gives rise to either enhanced or totally new behaviour. Ferroelectric materials possess high degrees of functionality making them extremely useful in a broad variety of applications. Find out more on our research overview page.
