英文摘要:
The interface between the band gap insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 is known to host a highly mobile two-dimensional electron gas. Here we report on the fabrication and characterization of the NdGaO3/SrTiO3 interface, that shares with LaAlO3/SrTiO3 an all-perovskite structure, the insulating nature of the single building block and the polar-non polar character. Our work demonstrates that in NdGaO3/SrTiO3 a metallic layer of mobile electrons is formed, with properties comparable to LaAlO3/SrTiO3. The localization of the injected electrons at the Ti sites, within a few unit cells from the interface, was proved by Atomic-scale-resolved EELS analyses. The electric transport and photoconduction of samples were also investigated. We found that irradiation by photons below the SrTiO3 gap does not increase the carrier density, but slightly enhances low temperature mobility. A giant persistent photoconductivity effect was instead observed, even under irradiation by low energy photons, in highly resistive samples fabricated at non-optimal conditions. We discuss the results in the light of different mechanisms proposed for the two-dimensional electron gas formation. Both the ordinary and the persistent photoconductivity in these systems are addressed and analyzed.
