Highlights:

* Principal Investigator of a research program aimed to find new ways of radically improving structure quality of thick epitaxial layers of complex oxides. The program was rated 3rd out of 10 by U.S. DOE review panel, being described as “Absolutely excellent and innovative.” * Initiated licensing of technology (U.S. patent # 6,794,339) for sub-atmospheric processing of large-area epitaxial layers to a U.S. manufacturing company, established royalty account. * Invented and implemented sub-atmospheric reactor for processing of high volume of oxide tape, U.S. patent # 6,794,339. The invention enabled to increase the production rate by a factor of 5 and reduce carrier gas consumption by a factor of 100. * Set-up high-rate e-beam gun evaporation system for deposition of thick precursor layers (Themescal e-guns, Inficon rate controllers, Balzer’s cryo-pump). Achieved composition uniformity within 2% (analysis using JY-Horiba ULTIMA 2 ICP) over 10 cm area at 3 micron the film thickness and the deposition rate 20 nm/s.
