摘要:

对氧化物准二维电子气(q2 DEG)的研究已经成为发现新颖的和有时意想不到的现象的场所,例如在LaAlO $_{3}$和SrTiO $_{3}$非磁性材料之间的表面和界面处的磁性。然而,在这个系统中的磁性是弱的,有证据表明,一个非内在的起源。在这里,通过使用原位高分辨率角分辨光电子能谱,我们证明了铁磁EuTiO $_{3}$,在本体中的SrTiO $_{3}$的磁性对应物,在其(001)表面托管q2 DEG。这是证实了密度泛函理论计算与Hubbard U条款中存在的氧双空位在各种配置,所有这些导致自旋极化q2 DEG相关的铁磁顺序的Eu-4f磁矩。研究结果表明,EuTiO $_{3}$(001)是一种新型的氧化物q2 DEG的新材料平台,具有反转破坏和时间反转对称性的特点。

英文摘要:

Studies on oxide quasi-two dimensional electron gas (q2DEG) have been a playground for the discovery of novel and sometimes unexpected phenomena, like the reported magnetism at the surface and at the interface between LaAlO$_{3}$ and SrTiO$_{3}$ non-magnetic materials. However, magnetism in this system is weak and there are evidences of a not intrinsic origin. Here, by using in-situ high-resolution angle resolved photoemission we demonstrate that ferromagnetic EuTiO$_{3}$, the magnetic counterpart of SrTiO$_{3}$ in the bulk, hosts a q2DEG at its (001) surface. This is confirmed by density functional theory calculations with Hubbard U terms in the presence of oxygen divacancies in various configurations, all of them leading to a spin-polarized q2DEG related to the ferromagnetic order of Eu-4f magnetic moments. The results suggest EuTiO$_{3}$(001) as a new material platform for oxide q2DEGs, characterized by broken inversion and time reversal symmetries.
