Abstract

Irradiation of pre-damaged SrTiO ₃ with 2 MeV He, 1.2 MeV C, 5 MeV C and 12 MeV O ions reveals two regimes of ionization-induced recovery. For C and O ions, with electronic energy loss between 1.6 and 3 keV/nm, recovery cross-sections range from 0.27 to 0.38 nm ², and molecular dynamics confirms recovery related to ionization-induced thermal spikes via electron-phonon coupling. Lastly, at lower electronic energy losses, recovery cross-sections decrease to about 5.5 × 10 ^-4 nm ² for 2 MeV He ions and 1.0 × 10 ^-5 nm ² for 200 keV electrons, which suggests recovery associated with local electronic excitation processes.

Revealing ionization-induced dynamic recovery in ion-irradiated SrTiO ₃

Journal Article Velisa, Gihan ; Wendler, Elke ; Xue, Haizhou ; ... - Acta Materialia

The lack of fundamental understanding on the coupled effects of energy deposition to electrons and atomic nuclei on defect processes and irradiation response poses a significant roadblock for the design and control of material properties. In this work, SrTiO ₃ has been irradiated with various ion species over a wide range of ion fluences at room temperature with a goal to deposit different amounts of energy to target electrons and atomic nuclei by varying the ratio of electronic to nuclear energy loss. Here, the results unambiguously show a dramatic difference in behavior of SrTiO ₃ irradiated with light ions (Ne,more »« less

Dielectric collapse at the LaAlO ₃/SrTiO ₃ (001) heterointerface under applied electric field

Journal Article Minohara, M. ; Hikita, Y. ; Bell, C. ; ... - Scientific Reports

The fascinating interfacial transport properties at the LaAlO ₃/SrTiO ₃ heterointerface have led to intense investigations of this oxide system. Exploiting the large dielectric constant of SrTiO ₃ at low temperatures, tunability in the interfacial conductivity over a wide range has been demonstrated using a back-gate device geometry. In order to understand the effect of back-gating, it is crucial to assess the interface band structure and its evolution with external bias. In this study, we report measurements of the gate-bias dependent interface band alignment, especially the confining potential profile, at the conducting LaAlO ₃/SrTiO ₃ (001) heterointerface using soft andmore »« less

Two-stage synergy of electronic energy loss with defects in LiTaO ₃ under ion irradiation

Journal Article Sellami, Neila ; Crespillo, Miguel L. ; Zhang, Yanwen ; ... - Materials Research Letters

Understanding energy dissipation in electronic and atomic subsystems and subsequent defect evolution is a scientific challenge. Separate and combined effects of electronic and nuclear energy deposition in z-cut LiTaO ₃ have been investigated. Irradiation of pristine LiTaO ₃ samples with 2 MeV Ta ions leads to amorphization due to atomic displacement damage, described by a disorder accumulation model. Here, while 21 MeV Si ions do not produce significant damage in pristine LiTaO ₃, introduction of pre-existing defects sensitizes LiTaO ₃ to the formation of ion tracks from the electronic energy loss by 21 MeV Si ions that induce a synergisticmore » two-stage phase transition process.« less

Engineering two-dimensional superconductivity and Rashba spin–orbit coupling in LaAlO ₃/SrTiO ₃ quantum wells by selective orbital occupancy

Journal Article Herranz, Gervasi ; Singh, Gyanendra ; Bergeal, Nicolas ; ... - Nature Communications

We find the discovery of two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) at oxide interfaces—involving electrons in narrow d-bands—has broken new ground, enabling the access to correlated states that are unreachable in conventional semiconductors based on s- and p- electrons. There is a growing consensus that emerging properties at these novel quantum wells—such as 2D superconductivity and magnetism—are intimately connected to specific orbital symmetries in the 2DEG sub-band structure. Here we show that crystal orientation allows selective orbital occupancy, disclosing unprecedented ways to tailor the 2DEG properties. By carrying out electrostatic gating experiments in LaAlO ₃/SrTiO ₃ wells of different crystal orientations, wemore »« less
