Giant oscillating thermopower at oxide interfaces
Understanding the nature of charge carriers at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface is one of the major open issues in the full comprehension of the charge confinement phenomenon in oxide heterostructures. Here, we investigate thermopower to study the electronic structure in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 at low temperature as a function of gate field. In particular, under large negative gate voltage, corresponding to t...
متن کاملDensity and spatial distribution of charge carriers in the intrinsic n-type LaAlO3-SrTiO3 interface
In order to establish the density and spatial distribution of charge carriers intrinsic to the n-type LaAlO3-SrTiO3 heterointerface, we carry out first-principles calculations on the LaAlO3 n SrTiO3 15 slab model with n=2–10. As the thickness of the LaAlO3 layer increases, the charge transfer from LaAlO3 to SrTiO3 converges to half an electron per two-dimensional unit cell. It is found that the...
متن کاملPolaronic metal state at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface.
Interplay of spin, charge, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom in oxide heterostructures results in a plethora of fascinating properties, which can be exploited in new generations of electronic devices with enhanced functionalities. The paradigm example is the interface between the two band insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 that hosts a two-dimensional electron system. Apart from the mobile charg...
متن کاملMultiorbital structure of the two-dimensional electron gas in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures: The formation of a dx y ferromagnetic sheet
We demonstrate the formation of a ferromagnetic two-dimensional dxy electron sheet strictly confined to the TiO2 interface layer in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures. Based on first-principles density functional calculations we show that the complex subband structure of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) generated at the LaO/TiO2 (001) interface is universal, and almost independent of the SrT...
متن کاملElectric-field-induced Shift in the Threshold Voltage in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 Heterostructures
The two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the interface between insulating LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 is intriguing both as a fundamental science topic and for possible applications in electronics or sensors. For example, because the electrical conductance of the 2DEG at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface can be tuned by applying an electric field, new electronic devices utilizing the 2DEG at the LaAlO3/SrTiO...
