Emergent phenomena at oxide interfaces.

چکیده
Recent technical advances in the atomic-scale synthesis of oxide heterostructures have provided a fertile new ground for creating novel states at their interfaces. Different symmetry constraints can be used to design structures exhibiting phenomena not found in the bulk constituents. A characteristic feature is the reconstruction of the charge, spin and orbital states at interfaces on the nanometre scale. Examples such as interface superconductivity, magneto-electric coupling, and the quantum Hall effect in oxide heterostructures are representative of the scientific and technological opportunities in this rapidly emerging field.

The new science of oxide interfaces.
Over the past decade, a huge range of emergent properties have been demonstrated at the interfaces between complex oxides. Such properties represent a paradigm of ‘greater than the sum of parts’, with radically different properties to the parent materials being obtained. Hence, oxide interfaces offer the potential to create entirely new functionality, and, in many cases, they do this at room te...
متن کاملEmergent nanoscale superparamagnetism at oxide interfaces
Atomically sharp oxide heterostructures exhibit a range of novel physical phenomena that are absent in the parent compounds. A prominent example is the appearance of highly conducting and superconducting states at the interface between LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. Here we report an emergent phenomenon at the LaMnO3/SrTiO3 interface where an antiferromagnetic Mott insulator abruptly transforms into a nano...
متن کاملInterfacial Symmetry Control of Emergent Ferromagnetism at the Nanoscale.
The emergence of complex new ground states at interfaces has been identified as one of the most promising routes to highly tunable nanoscale materials. Despite recent progress, isolating and controlling the underlying mechanisms behind these emergent properties remains among the most challenging materials physics problems to date. In particular, generating ferromagnetism localized at the interf...
متن کاملA polarity-induced defect mechanism for conductivity and magnetism at polar-nonpolar oxide interfaces.
The discovery of conductivity and magnetism at the polar-nonpolar interfaces of insulating nonmagnetic oxides such as LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 has raised prospects for attaining interfacial functionalities absent in the component materials. Yet, the microscopic origin of such emergent phenomena remains unclear, posing obstacles to design of improved functionalities. Here we present first principles ca...
متن کاملAtomically precise interfaces from non-stoichiometric deposition.
Complex oxide heterostructures display some of the most chemically abrupt, atomically precise interfaces, which is advantageous when constructing new interface phases with emergent properties by juxtaposing incompatible ground states. One might assume that atomically precise interfaces result from stoichiometric growth. Here we show that the most precise control is, however, obtained by using d...
