Martin Sarott

Martin Sarott is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Complex Oxides at the University of Groningen, affiliated with the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials and the Faculty of Science and Engineering. His research focuses on epitaxial ferroic thin films, domain configurations, optical control of ferroic order, and complex oxides for unconventional computing. He specializes in experimental techniques including pulsed laser deposition, nonlinear optics, X-ray diffraction, and advanced microscopy methods.

His work addresses challenges in material synthesis, domain engineering, and device fabrication, with applications in next-generation electronics and energy-efficient systems. Notably, he explores strain effects on polar phases in WO3 thin films and optical manipulation of ferroelectric polarization states.

Recent publications highlight contributions to understanding structure-property relationships in epitaxial systems, polar skyrmions, and novel diffraction strategies for hidden order detection. Sarott collaborates on projects involving 2D materials, plasmonic membranes, and quantum sensing for domain imaging. His experimental toolkit includes advanced lithography (photolithography, electron beam lithography) and in-situ characterization methods.
