Prof. Ramesh's research centers on the following four areas:

Metal Oxide Thin Film Growth and Characterization

Metal oxide thin film deposition and processing for microelectronic, optical and high-frequency applications; pulsed laser deposition and chemical vapor deposition; oxide thin film heterostructures; growth mechanisms and defect structures; structure-property-processing interrelationships; ferroelectric and magnetic oxide thin film heterostructures; and integration of Si and GaAs for device applications.

Transmission Electron Microscopy

Application of TEM techniques to solving materials problems: high-resolution atomic imaging of defect and crystal structure in oxides; analytical electron microscopy and micro-diffraction techniques; and imaging of domains.

Materials Processing for Devices

Nano-fabrication technologies; novel physical phenomena in electronic, magnetic, and photonic materials with shrinking dimensions; and dry etching technologies for device fabrication in metal oxide electronic and photonic materials.

Information Technologies

Non-volatile information storage technologies: ferroelectric random access memories; integrated optical devices for information processing and storage; thin film magnetic and magneto-optic materials for recording media and heads; integrated giant-magnetoresistive oxides for sensors and heads; "smart" thin film for sensors and actuators; and technology development and marketing.
