摘要:

氧化物异质结构由于基本的和应用的原因而引起极大的兴趣。特别地,在LaAlO $_3$ /SrTiO $_3$或LaTiO $_3$ /SrTiO $_3$界面处的二维电子气显示出许多不同的物理性质和功能。然而,有明确的迹象表明,界面电子状态是强烈的不均匀性,因此,它是至关重要的相关调查可能的内在电子机制,这种不均匀性。这里的静电势限制在界面处的电子气计算自洽,发现在界面处的电子约束可能会导致相分离,以避免与负的压缩性的不稳定状态。这为实验观察到的这些界面的不均匀特性提供了一个通用的鲁棒性和内在机制。

英文摘要:

Oxide heterostructures are of great interest both for fundamental and applicative reasons. In particular the two-dimensional electron gas at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ or LaTiO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interfaces displays many different physical properties and functionalities. However there are clear indications that the interface electronic state is strongly inhomogeneous and therefore it is crucially relevant to investigate possible intrinsic electronic mechanisms underlying this inhomogeneity. Here the electrostatic potential confining the electron gas at the interface is calculated self-consistently, finding that the electron confinement at the interface may induce phase separation, to avoid a thermodynamically unstable state with a negative compressibility. This provides a generic robust and intrinsic mechanism for the experimentally observed inhomogeneous character of these interfaces.
