We report on the transport characterization in dark and under light irradiation of three different interfaces: LaAlO3/SrTiO3, LaGaO3/SrTiO3, and the novel NdGaO3/SrTiO3 heterostructure. All of them share a perovskite structure, an…
We present an ab initio study of the (001) interfaces between two insulating perovskites, the polar LaAlO3 and the nonpolar SrTiO3. We observe an insulating-to-metallic transition above a critical LaAlO3 thickness. We explain that the high…
Emergent phenomena take place in symmetry-breaking systems, notably the recently discovered two-dimensional electron gas and its tunable superconductivities near the KTaO3 interfaces. Here, we synthesized perovskite Ca0.5TaO3 films along…
We have investigated the transport properties of LaVO_3/SrTiO_3 Mott insulator/band insulator heterointerfaces for various configurations. The (001)-oriented n-type VO_2/LaO/TiO_2 polar discontinuity is conducting, exhibiting a LaVO_3…
The interface between the band gap insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 is known to host a highly mobile two-dimensional electron gas. Here we report on the fabrication and characterization of the NdGaO3/SrTiO3 interface, that shares with…

We show that the growth of the heterostructure LaGaO3/SrTiO3 yields the formation of a highly conductive interface. Our samples were carefully analyzed by high resolution electron microscopy, in order to assess their crystal perfection and…
We have investigated electron transport in Nb doped SrTiO$_3$ single crystals for two doping densities. We find that the resistivity and mobility are temperature dependent in both whereas the carrier concentration is almost temperature…

The discovery of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) at the interfaces of perovskite oxides such as LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 has motivated enormous efforts in engineering interfacial functionalities with this type of oxide heterostructures.…
Perovskite SrIrO3 (SIO) films epitaxially deposited with a thickness of about 60 nm on various substrate materials display nearly strain-relieved state. Films grown on orthorhombic (110) DyScO3 (DSO) are found to display untwinned bulk-like…
The (001) surfaces of polar perovskites BaTiO$_3$ and PbTiO$_3$ have been studied from first principles at T=0 K. For both cases of polarization, the most stable TiO-terminated interfaces show intrinsic ferroelectricity. In the topmost…
Intriguingly conducting perovskite interfaces between ordinary band insulators are widely explored, whereas similar interfaces with Mott insulators are still not quite understood. Here we address the (001), (110), and (111) interfaces…
