Density 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 کاملSolutions of diffusion equation for point defects
An analytical solution of the equation describing diffusion of intrinsic point defects in semiconductor crystals has been obtained for a one-dimensional finite-length domain with the Robin-type boundary conditions. The distributions of point defects for different migration lengths of defects have been calculated. The exact analytical solution was used to verify the approximate numerical solutio...
متن کاملDetermination of virtual point for HPGe detector at various gamma rays energies by simulation and experimental methods
High Purity Germanium detectors (HPGe) are subdivisions of semiconductor detectors which are widely used in nuclear technology from space industry to nuclear medicine, due to their high resolution, low dead time, unlimited size and compatibility with a variety of environments. The( absolute and intrinsic) efficiency of the HPGe detector, which depends on the geometry of the source-detector syst...
متن کاملDefects in bilayer silica and graphene: common trends in diverse hexagonal two-dimensional systems
By combining first-principles and classical force field calculations with aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy experiments, we study the morphology and energetics of point and extended defects in hexagonal bilayer silica and make comparison to graphene, another two-dimensional (2D) system with hexagonal symmetry. We show that the motifs of isolated point defects...
متن کاملA polarity-induced defect mechanism for conductivity and magnetism at polar-nonpolar oxide interfaces.
The discovery of conductivity and magnetism at the polar-nonpolar interfaces of insulating nonmagnetic oxides such as LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 has raised prospects for attaining interfacial functionalities absent in the component materials. Yet, the microscopic origin of such emergent phenomena remains unclear, posing obstacles to design of improved functionalities. Here we present first principles ca...
