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...

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 ,...

Two-dimensional Bose gas at low density

We propose a new method to describe the interacting bose gas at zero temperature. For three-dimensional system the correction to the groundstate energy in density is reproduced. For two-dimensional dilute bose gas the groundstate energy in the leading order in the parameter | ln α2ρ|−1 where α is a scattering length is obtained.

The spin-double refraction in two-dimensional electron gas

We briefly review the phenomenon of the spin-double refraction that originates at an interface separating a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling from a one without. We demonstrate how this phenomenon in semiconductor heterostructures can produce and control a spin-polarized current without ferromagnetic leads.
