Origin of the self-limited electron densities at Al₂O₃/SrTiO₃ heterostructures grown by atomic layer deposition - oxygen diffusion model.

چکیده
Recently, 2-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) was discovered at the interface of Al₂O₃/SrTiO₃ (STO) heterostructures, in which the amorphous Al₂O₃ layers were grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The saturated electron density at the Al₂O₃/STO heterostructures above the critical thickness of Al₂O₃ is explained by an oxygen diffusion mechanism.

Creation and control of two-dimensional electron gas using Al-based amorphous oxides/SrTiO₃ heterostructures grown by atomic layer deposition.
The formation of a two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) using SrTiO(3) (STO)-based heterostructures provides promising opportunities in oxide electronics. We realized the formation of 2-DEG using several amorphous layers grown by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique at 300 °C which is a process compatible with mass production and thereby can provide the realization of potential applicati...
متن کاملAtomic layer deposition of Zn(O,S) thin films with tunable electrical properties by oxygen annealing
Zinc oxysulfide, Zn(O,S), films grown by atomic layer deposition were annealed in oxygen to adjust the carrier concentration. The electron carrier concentration of Zn(O,S) can be reduced by several orders of magnitude from 10 to 10 cm 3 by post-deposition annealing in oxygen at temperatures from 200 C to 290 C. In the case of Zn(O,S) with S/Zn1⁄4 0.37, despite the considerable change in the ele...
متن کاملChemical Bonding and Atomic Structure in Y2O3:ZrO2-SrTiO3 Layered Heterostructures**
Repeating boundaries: the buried interfaces in artificial heterostructures produced by sequential deposition of nanosized units are critical to their properties. With density functional theory it was shown that in Y(2)O(3):ZrO(2) (YSZ) and SrTiO(3) (STO) heterostructures reconstruction of the interfaces between the component units is required to access the most favorable structure.
متن کاملThermal decomposition behavior of the HfO2 ÕSiO2 ÕSi system
We report on the thermal decomposition of uncapped, ultrathin HfO2 films grown by chemical vapor deposition on SiO2 /Si(100) substrates. Medium energy ion scattering, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to examine the films after they had been annealed in vacuum to 900–1050 °C. Film decomposition is a strong function of the HfO2 o...
متن کاملMetallic and insulating oxide interfaces controlled by electronic correlations.
The formation of two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) at complex oxide interfaces is directly influenced by the oxide electronic properties. We investigated how local electron correlations control the 2DEG by inserting a single atomic layer of a rare-earth oxide (RO) [(R is lanthanum (La), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm), or yttrium (Y)] into an epitaxial strontium titanate o...
