Pulsed laser deposition of epitaxial thin films and characterisation of different materials (mainly oxides), looking at strain and relaxation mechanisms, and the microstructural and functional properties of ultrathin films (metal-insulating transitions, ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, oxide ionic conducting, thermoelectric, transparent conducting, resistive switching, etc.)
