Biography Brittany Nelson-Cheeseman received her Ph.D.(2009) from the Universityof California Berkeley in Materials Science and Engineering, with a Designated Emphasis in Nanoscale Science and Engineering. In Prof. Yuri Suzuki's research group, she studied the chemical, magnetic and electrical properties of complex oxide spinel and perovskite thin films,interfaces and heterostructures grown by pulsed laser deposition. This was done both through model spintronic devices and through a number of synchrotron x-ray techniques. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher supervised by Dr. Anand Bhattacharya in the Materials Science Division and the Center for Nanoscale Materials. She is utilizing the unique capabilities of oxide molecular beam epitaxy, such as control of dopant cation order, to stabilize and study non-equilibrium thin films and superlattices for novel magnetic and electronic properties. She is particularly interested in the interplay between dopant cation order,strain and dimensionality in the layered perovskites, as well as expanding monolayer growth control beyond conventional perovskite-base systems and into corundum-derived hexagonal close packed systems. |
