“…With each wave of interest in a particular class of complex oxide materials, a route to high-quality oxide films through sputtering has usually been found, and the resulting films have been important enablers of scientific progress. Some examples include high-temperature superconductor thin films (Eom et al, 1989(Eom et al, , 1990 and superlattices (Triscone et al, 1990;Triscone, Karkut, Antognazza, Brunner, & Fischer, 1989), ferroelectricity in ultrathin perovskite titanate ferroelectrics Lichtensteiger, Triscone, Junquera, & Ghosez, 2005;Pertsev et al, 2003;Tybell, Ahn, & Triscone, 1999), multiferroic behavior in BiFeO 3 (Das et al, 2006), and metaleinsulator transitions in nickelate materials (Scherwitzl et al, 2010, 2011, Scherwitzl, Zubko, Lichtensteiger, & Triscone, 2009.…”
