Observation of a two-dimensional electron gas at CaTiO3 film surfaces

Two dimensional electron gas at oxide interfaces

Spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas at oxide interfaces.

The possibility of formation of a fully spin-polarized 2D electron gas at the SrMnO_3/(LaMnO_3)_1/SrMnO_3 heterostructure is predicted from density-functional calculations. The La(d) electrons become confined in the direction normal to the interface in the electrostatic potential well of the positively charged layer of La atoms, acting as electron donors. These electrons mediate a ferromagnetic...

Observation of an interedge magnetoplasmon mode in a degenerate two-dimensional electron gas.

We study the propagation of edge magnetoplasmons by time-resolved current measurements in a sample which allows for selective detection of edge states in the quantum Hall regime. At filling factors close to nu=3 we observe two decoupled modes of edge excitations, one of which is related to the innermost compressible strip and is identified as an interedge magnetoplasmon mode. From the analysis ...

Two-dimensional electron gas near full polarization

We establish the consistency of the Fermi liquid description and find a relation between the Fermi liquid constants for a two-dimensional electron system near the point of full polarization due to a parallel magnetic field H. Our results enable us to predict connections between different thermodynamic properties of the system. In particular, we find that near the point of full polarization Hc ,...

Interaction-induced magnetization of a two-dimensional electron gas

We consider the contribution of electron-electron interactions to the orbital magnetization of a twodimensional electron gas, focusing on the ballistic limit in the regime of negligible Landau-level spacing. This regime can be described by combining diagrammatic perturbation theory with semiclassical techniques. At sufficiently low temperatures, the interaction-induced magnetization overwhelms ...
