Recently, it was established that a two-dimensional electron system can arise at the interface between two oxide insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. This paradigmatic example exhibits metallic behaviour and magnetic properties between…

We report on a metal-insulator transition in the LaAlO3-SrTiO3 interface electron system, of which the carrier density is tuned by an electric gate field. Below a critical carrier density n_c ranging from 0.5-1.5 * 10^13/cm^2, LaAlO3-SrTiO3…

The density functional plus U method is used to obtain the electronic structure, lattice relaxation and metal-insulator phase diagram of superlattices consisting of $m$ layers of Gadolinium Titanate (GdTiO$_{3}$) alternating with $n$ layers…

The electronic structure of interfaces between LaAlO$_3$ and SrTiO$_3$ is studied using local spin density approximation (LSDA) with intra-atomic Coulomb repulsion (LSDA+U). We find that the nature of the interface metallic states is…

We present a systematic study of the electronic structure of several prototypical correlated transition-metal oxides: VO2, V2O3, Ti2O3, LaTiO3, and YTiO3. In all these materials, in the low-temperature insulating phases the local and…

The discovery that the interface between two band gap insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 is highly conducting has raised an enormous interest in the field of oxide electronics. The LAlO3/SrTiO3 interface can be tuned using an electric field and…

Motivated by the puzzling report of the observation of a ferromagnetic insulating state in LaMnO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ heterostructures, we calculate the electronic and magnetic state of LaMnO$_3$, coherently matched to a SrTiO$_3$ square substrate…

Perovskite oxide interfaces have attracted tremendous research interest for their fundamental physics and promising all-oxide electronics applications. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we propose a novel surface La interstitial…

First principles calculations reveal that adding a metallic overlayer on LaAlO3/SrTiO3(001) eliminates the electric field within the polar LaAlO3 film and thus suppresses the thickness-dependent insulator-to-metal transition observed in…

A large variety of transport properties have been observed at the interface between the insulating oxides SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 such as insulation, 2D interface metallicity, 3D bulk metallicity, Kondo scattering, magnetism and…

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 use density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory to demonstrate the emergence of a metallic layer at the interface between the two Mott insulators LaTiO$_3$ and LaVO$_3$. The metallic layer is due to charge transfer across…

When insulator LaAlO3 is grown by epitaxy onto a TiO2-terminated {100} surface of insulator SrTiO3, the resulting system has a metallic character. This phenomenon has been associated with an electrostatic frustration at the interface, as…
