摘要:

电子在固体表面和吸附的原子或分子物种之间的转移是自然和合成过程中的基础,是大多数催化反应和许多传感器的核心。在特殊情况下,在存在氢吸附层的情况下,可以在例如Si封端的SiCl或混合封端的ZnO 2的表面处诱导金属导电。通常,只有表面原子受到吸附物的显著影响。然而,远程改变远离吸附层的电子状态是可能的,如果这些状态静电耦合到表面。在这里,我们表明,常见的溶剂,如丙酮,乙醇和水的表面吸附可以诱导一个大的变化(三个因素)在SrTiO 3基板和LaAlO 3薄膜3 -8之间的掩埋界面的电导率。这种现象仅在极性溶剂中观察到。我们的研究结果提供了实验证据,吸附在LaAlO 3表面诱导的电子在LaAlO 3/SrTiO 3界面的积累,提出了一个一般的极化促进电子转移机制,可用于传感器应用。

英文摘要:

The transfer of electrons between a solid surface and adsorbed atomic or molecular species is fundamental in natural and synthetic processes, being at the heart of most catalytic reactions and many sensors. In special cases, metallic conduction can be induced at the surface of, for example, Si-terminated SiC1, or mixed-terminated ZnO2, in the presence of a hydrogen adlayer. Generally, only the surface atoms are significantly affected by adsorbates. However, remotely changing electronic states far from the adsorbed layer is possible if these states are electrostatically coupled to the surface. Here we show that the surface adsorption of common solvents such as acetone, ethanol, and water can induce a large change (factor of three) in the conductivity at the buried interface between SrTiO3 substrates and LaAlO3 thin films3-8. This phenomenon is observed only for polar solvents. Our result provides experimental evidence that adsorbates at the LaAlO3 surface induce accumulation of electrons at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface, suggesting a general polarization-facilitated electronic transfer mechanism, which can be used for sensor applications.
