摘要:

复杂氧化物之间的界面是凝聚态物理中最有趣的研究领域之一。在这种特殊的设置中,平移对称性被人为打破,可以促进各种新颖的电子相位。理论研究预测复杂的相图,并建议在确定系统的基态的载流子密度的关键作用。一个特别吸引人的系统是绝缘体LaAlO $_{3}$和SrTiO $_{3}$之间的界面,它显示出高迁移率的导电性。最近,实验上发现了两种可能的基态:磁态和二维超导凝聚态。在这封信中,我们使用电场效应来探索系统的相图。载流子密度的静电调谐允许超导性的开/关切换,并驱动2D超导态和绝缘态(2D-QSI)之间的量子相变(QPT)。在绝缘状态下的磁输运性质的分析是一致的弱本地化,并没有提供磁性的证据。这里展示的超导性的电场控制为新型介观超导电路的发展开辟了道路

英文摘要:

Interfaces between complex oxides are emerging as one of the most interesting playgrounds in condensed matter physics. In this special setting, in which translational symmetry is artificially broken, a variety of novel electronic phases can be promoted. Theoretical studies predict complex phase diagrams and suggest the key role of the carrier density in determining the systems ground states. A particularly fascinating system is the interface between the insulators LaAlO$_{3}$ and SrTiO$_{3}$, which displays conductivity with high mobility. Recently two possible ground states have been experimentally identified: a magnetic state and a two dimensional (2D) superconducting condensate. In this Letter we use the electric field effect to explore the phase diagram of the system. The electrostatic tuning of the carrier density allows an on/off switching of superconductivity and drives a quantum phase transition (QPT) between a 2D superconducting state and an insulating state (2D-QSI). Analyses of the magnetotransport properties in the insulating state are consistent with weak localisation and do not provide evidence for magnetism. The electric field control of superconductivity demonstrated here opens the way to the development of novel mesoscopic superconducting circuits
