摘要:

第一性原理计算预测了LaAlO 3/EuO(001)异质结构中LaO/EuO界面处存在自旋极化二维电子气(2DEG).这种极性界面有利于电子掺杂到Eu-5d导带中,导致在界面处形成2DEG。由于Eu-5d态的交换分裂,2DEG在EuO的居里温度以下被自旋极化。在极性和铁磁绝缘体之间的界面处形成自旋极化的2DEG的预测机制可以提供对于自旋电子学应用感兴趣的2DEG的稳健磁性。

英文摘要:

First-principles calculations predict the existence of a spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the LaO/EuO interface in a LaAlO3/EuO (001) heterostructure. This polar interface favors electron doping into the Eu-5d conduction bands resulting in a 2DEG formed at the interface. Due to the exchange splitting of the Eu-5d states the 2DEG is spin-polarized below the Curie temperature of EuO. The predicted mechanism for the formation of a spinpolarized 2DEG at the interface between polar and ferromagnetic insulators may provide a robust magnetism of the 2DEG which is interesting for spintronics applications.
