Complex oxides have a wide variety of modern applications nanoelectronics, thermoelectronics, photo- and electrochemistry, as battery materials, catalysts and for energy conversion and storage. In a clear and accessible waythe text provides an overview of all important materials classes, such as superconductors, manganites, (multi-) ferroics, discusses nanoscale and interface properties and important synthesis and characterization methods.
