Origin of interface magnetism in BiMnO3/SrTiO3 and LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures.
Possible ferromagnetism induced in otherwise nonmagnetic materials has been motivating intense research in complex oxide heterostructures. Here we show that a confined magnetism is realized at the interface between SrTiO3 and two insulating polar oxides, BiMnO3 and LaAlO3. By using polarization dependent x-ray absorption spectroscopy, we find that in both cases the magnetism can be stabilized b...
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 کاملStructural comparison of n-type and p-type LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces.
Using a surface x-ray diffraction technique, we investigated the atomic structure of two types of interfaces between LaAlO3 and SrTiO3, that is, p-type (SrO/AlO2) and n-type (TiO2/LaO) interfaces. Our results demonstrate that the SrTiO3 in the sample with the n-type interface has a large polarized region, while that with the p-type interface has a limited polarized region. In addition, atomic i...
متن کاملMechanisms of charge transfer and redistribution in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 revealed by high-energy optical conductivity.
In condensed matter physics the quasi two-dimensional electron gas at the interface of two different insulators, polar LaAlO3 on nonpolar SrTiO3 (LaAlO3/SrTiO3) is a spectacular and surprising observation. This phenomenon is LaAlO3 film thickness dependent and may be explained by the polarization catastrophe model, in which a charge transfer of 0.5e(-) from the LaAlO3 film into the LaAlO3/SrTiO...
متن کاملPhotoinduced modulation and relaxation characteristics in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerface
We report the modulation and relaxation characteristics in the two-dimensional electron gas system at LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerface induced by the ultraviolet light illumination (365 nm). The suppression of Kondo effect at the interface illuminated by the light originates from the light irradiation-induced decoherence effect of localized states. It is interesting to note that the persistent and...
