<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Functional oxides based on the transition metal series display a wide spectrum of remarkable electronic properties including magnetism, superconductivity and metal-insulator transitions,
which offer potential important properties for practical applications including colossal responses to external fields, switchable conductivity, and efficient energy conversion. These novel properties arise from the interaction between the charge, orbital,
spin, and lattice degrees of freedom. The key to controlling these properties lies in the ability to control the underlying structure. By using epitaxial growth to strain oxide crystal structures, thin film synthesis offers novel route to control oxide structure
in ways not attainable in the bulk counterparts. This allows one to access new regions of phase to explore emergent states not present in bulk form. Extending this to ultrathin heterostructures then offers the ability to harness dimensionality as an additional
knob to control the interactions of strongly correlated electrons. Here I will highlight our recent work on complex oxide heterostuctures focused on using strain and confinement to manipulate orbital configurations in nickelates[1-4] and cuprates[5-6].
