Electronic Charges and Electric Potential at LaAlO3/SrTiO3 Interfaces Studied by Core-Level Photoemission Spectroscopy

Journal Article Hwang, Harold - Submitted to Physical Review Letters

We studied LaAlO{sub 3}/SrTiO{sub 3} interfaces for varying LaAlO{sub 3} thickness by core-level photoemission spectroscopy. In Ti 2p spectra for conducting 'n-type' interfaces, Ti{sup 3+} signals appeared, which were absent for insulating 'p-type' interfaces. The Ti{sup 3+} signals increased with LaAlO{sub 3} thickness, but started well below the critical thickness of 4 unit cells for metallic transport. Core-level shifts with LaAlO{sub 3} thickness were much smaller than predicted by the polar catastrophe model. We attribute these observations to surface defects/adsorbates providing charges to the interface even below the critical thickness.

Observation of strontium segregation in LaAlO{sub 3}/SrTiO{sub 3} and NdGaO{sub 3}/SrTiO{sub 3} oxide heterostructures by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy

Journal Article Treske, Uwe ; Heming, Nadine ; Knupfer, Martin ; ... - APL Materials

LaAlO{sub 3} and NdGaO{sub 3} thin films of different thicknesses have been grown by pulsed laser deposition on TiO{sub 2}-terminated SrTiO{sub 3} single crystals and investigated by soft X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The surface sensitivity of the measurements has been tuned by varying photon energy hν and emission angle Θ. In contrast to the core levels of the other elements, the Sr 3d line shows an unexpected splitting for higher surface sensitivity, signaling the presence of a second strontium component. From our quantitative analysis we conclude that during the growth process Sr atoms diffuse away from the substrate and segregate atmore »« less

Writing charge into the n-type LaAlO{sub 3}/SrTiO{sub 3} interface: A theoretical study of the H{sub 2}O kinetics on the top AlO{sub 2} surface

Journal Article Feifei, Li ; Meng, Liang ; Wenli, Du ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Ab initio calculations reveal that H{sub 2}O binds strongly with the AlO{sub 2}-terminated LaAlO{sub 3}(100) surface and stabilizes it. The H{sub 2}O dissociates into OH and H. An ionic liquid is formed at certain temperature due to the fast diffusion of the H. The OH can then be selectively removed by a Coulomb force, resulting in the charge transfer to the interface. The desorption and diffusion of the remained H atoms are the key factors to the decay of the interface conductivity. While the desorption depends on the thickness of the LaAlO{sub 3} film, the diffusion is controlled by themore »« less

High resolution transmission electron microscopy study of interface structures and growth defects in epitaxial Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub {ital n}{minus}1}Cu{sub {ital n}}O{sub 4+2{ital n}+{delta}} films on SrTiO{sub 3} and LaAlO{sub 3}

Journal Article Zakharov, N D ; Hesse, D ; Auge, J ; ... - Journal of Materials Research

The defect structure of epitaxial, {ital c}-oriented Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub {ital n}{minus}1}Cu{sub {ital n}}O{sub 4+2{ital n}+{delta}} (BSCCO) thin films grown by dc-sputtering and layer-by-layer MBE on SrTiO{sub 3} and LaAlO{sub 3} single crystal substrates was investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Particular emphasis was put on the structure of the film/substrate interface. The films grown by dc-sputtering show a rather perfect structure involving a regular stacking of the unit cells. In spite of this regularity, there are many defects, such as twins, chemical stacking faults, and precipitates, as well as interfacial dislocations accommodating the film/substrate lattice misfit. The MBE-grownmore »« less

Thickness dependent electronic structure of La{sub 0.6}Sr{sub 0.4}MnO{sub 3} layer in SrTiO{sub 3}/La{sub 0.6}Sr{sub 0.4}MnO{sub 3}/SrTiO{sub 3} heterostructures studied by hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy

Journal Article Yoshimatsu, K ; Horiba, K ; Kumigashira, H ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The authors have investigated changes in the electronic structures of digitally controlled La{sub 0.6}Sr{sub 0.4}MnO{sub 3} (LSMO) layers sandwiched between SrTiO{sub 3} as a function of LSMO layer thickness in terms of hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HX-PES). The HX-PES spectra show the evolution of Mn 3d derived states near the Fermi level and the occurrence of metal-insulator transition at 8 ML. The detailed analysis for the thickness dependent HX-PES spectra reveals the existence of the less conducting and nonmagnetic transition layer with a film thickness of about 4 ML in the interface region owing to significant interaction through the interface.
