摘要:

理解,创建和操纵复杂的氧化物界面的二维电子气体的自旋极化提出了一个实验挑战。例如,尽管近十年的研究努力,在LaAlO 3/SrTiO 3异质结的铁磁性的微观起源仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。在这里,通过使用一个原型的二维电子气(2DEG)出现在带绝缘体SrTiO 3和反铁磁莫特绝缘体LaTiO 3之间的界面处,实验揭示了在空穴掺杂的Ti d1 t2 g系统中的磁相分离导致自旋极化的2DEG的证据。电子和磁性的2DEG的细节进行了研究,温度依赖的直流传输,角度依赖的X射线光电子能谱,和温度依赖的磁电阻。在低磁场下磁输运的明显磁滞现象的观察意味着在界面附近的空穴丰富的LaTiO 3中的磁岛的自旋极化。这些发现强调了磁不稳定性在掺杂莫特绝缘体中的作用,从而为设计与自旋电子学应用相关的全氧化物结构提供了另一条途径。

英文摘要:

Understanding, creating, and manipulating spin polarization of two-dimensional electron gases at complex oxide interfaces presents an experimental challenge. For example, despite almost a decade long research effort, the microscopic origin of ferromagnetism in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterojunction is still an open question. Here, by using a prototypical two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) which emerges at the interface between band insulator SrTiO3 and antiferromagnetic Mott insulator LaTiO3 , the experiment reveals the evidence for magnetic phase separation in hole-doped Ti d1 t2g system resulting in spin-polarized 2DEG. The details of electronic and magnetic properties of the 2DEG were investigated by temperature-dependent d.c. transport, angle-dependent X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, and temperature-dependent magnetoresistance. The observation of clear hysteresis in magnetotransport at low magnetic fields implies spin-polarization from magnetic islands in the hole rich LaTiO3 near the interface. These findings emphasize the role of magnetic instabilities in doped Mott insulators thus providing another path for designing all-oxide structures relevant to spintronics applications.
