Rate My Professor Maarit Karppinen

Karppinen's research pioneers functional inorganic-organic hybrid materials synthesized via atomic/molecular layer deposition (ALD/MLD) and other advanced techniques like ultra-high-pressure methods, targeting applications in sustainable energy technologies such as high-Tc superconductors, thermoelectrics, spintronics, fuel cells, batteries, and oxygen storage. She has published over 400 peer-reviewed articles, accumulating more than 17,000 citations. Notable publications include "Saturation of superconductivity in cuprates overdoped with high-pressure oxygen: Phase diagram with YBa2Cu3O7+δ, δ → 1" in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (2026), "Amido-Amine Co(II) Precursor-Based Atomic/Molecular Layer Deposition Processes for Cobalt-Organic Thin Films and Their Thermal Conversion to CoO Thin Films" in Advanced Materials Technologies (2026), "Atomic layer deposition of zinc oxide films on lateral high-aspect-ratio test structures using diethylzinc and water as precursors" in Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A (2026), and "Area-selective atomic/molecular layer deposition via block copolymer approach: Zn-benzene dithiol deposition as a case study" in Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A (2025). Karppinen has given 13 invited talks, served on 13 conference committees, and holds 4 editorial positions, underscoring her influence in materials chemistry.
