Abstract

We report on the discovery and transport study of the superconducting ground state present at the (111)LaAlO3_3/SrTiO3_3 interface. The superconducting transition is consistent with a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition and its 2D nature is further corroborated by the anisotropy of the critical magnetic field, as calculated by Tinkham. The estimated superconducting layer thickness and coherence length are 10 nm and 60 nm, respectively. The results of this work provide a new platform to clarify the microscopic details of superconductivity at LaAlO3_3/SrTiO3_3 interfaces, in particular in what concerns the link with orbital symmetry.
