Hot electron transport in a strongly correlated transition-metal oxide
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oxide heterointerfaces are ideal for investigating strong correlation effects to electron transport, relevant for oxide-electronics. Using hot-electrons, we probe electron transport perpendicular to the La₀.₇Sr₀.₃MnO₃ (LSMO)- Nb-doped SrTiO₃ (Nb:STO) interface and find the characteristic hot-electron attenuation length in LSMO to be 1.48 ± 0.10 unit cells (u.c.) at -1.9 V, increasing to 2.02 ± 0.16 u.c. at -1.3 V at room temperature. Theoretical analysis of this energy dispersion reveals the dominance of electron-electron and polaron scattering. Direct visualization of the local electron transport shows different transmission at the terraces and at the step-edges.

The Mott-Anderson transition has been known as a metal-insulator (MI) transition due to both strong electron-electron interaction and randomness of the electrons. For example, the MI transition in doped semiconductors and transition metal oxides has been investigated up to now as a typical example of the Mott-Anderson transition for changing electron correlations by carrier number control in co...

Coulomb interaction between electrons on p-orbitals of oxygen atom in strongly correlated compounds is not negligible, since its value (Up) has comparable order of magnitude with the value of Coulomb interaction on dorbitals of transition metal atom (Ud). We investigate the effect of taking into account Coulomb correlations in oxygen p-shell in addition to the correlations in the transition met...
