Electro- and Magnetotransport near a LaAlO3/SrTiO3 Interphase Boundary

Аннотация

Comparison of the channel spectra of medium energy ion scattering, visualized for LaAlO₃/(001)SrTiO₃ heterostructures with a thickness of the lanthanum aluminate layer of one to six unit cells, indicates that the lanthanum aluminate layer grows coherently on a TiO₂-terminated surface of a strontium titanate substrate. The resistance of the interphase boundary in the heterostructure with a thickness of the LaAlO₃ layer of six unit cells decreased with temperature. At T < 100 K, the positive magnetoresistance and Hall mobility of electrons increased sharply with decreasing temperature.
