Abstract Scope |
The combination of atomistic-based modeling and materials informatics can be used nowadays as powerful tools to design and synthesize a wide range of complex and novel structures. The modeling techniques allow us to provide a much deeper understanding on the synthesis mechanism and the dynamics within the structures. We applied these tools in conjunction with the experimental results to elucidate the detailed mechanisms of interfacial reactions and the formation of sub-nm amorphous alumina or crystalline MgO layer manufactured through Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) process as a critical part of the ultra-thin tunnel barrier fabrication.
