Emergent Freestanding Complex Oxide Membranes for Multifunctional Applications
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review surveys freestanding oxide membranes and covers fabrication and three pathways for studies and devices: strain‐free and strained membranes, and van der Waals‐integrated heterostructures. We show how coupled oxide responses map onto these routes and cross‐couple to expand behaviors.

Resistive Heating for Inducing Localized Crystal Growth in Organic Thin Film Devices
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Rubrene thin films are promising for organic optoelectronics due to high hole mobility. However, uncontrolled crystallization and grain boundaries from standard thermal processing hinder lateral device scalability. This work presents femtosecond‐laser micromachining and patterned resistive heating to induce localized, deterministic crystallization ...
