We report on the modeling of polarization-induced two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formation at ${\epsilon}$-AlGaO3 / ${\epsilon}$-Ga2O3 heterointerface and the effect of spontaneous polarization (Psp) reversal on 2DEG density in…
Electron-beam (e-beam) lithography is commonly used in fabricating metal-oxide-silicon (MOS) quantum devices but creates defects at the Si/SiO$_2$ interface. Here we show that a forming gas anneal is effective at removing shallow defects…
Combining a precise sputter etching method with subsequent AlO$_x$ growth within an atomic layer deposition chamber enables fabrication of atomically flat lateral patterns of SiO$_2$ and AlO$_x$. The transfer of MoSe$_2$ monolayers onto…
PtSe$_2$ is a promising 2D material for nanoelectromechanical sensing and photodetection in the infrared regime. One of its most compelling features is the facile synthesis at temperatures below 500 {\deg}C, which is compatible with current…
The interface superconductivity in LaAlO$_{3}$-SrTiO$_{3}$ heterostructures reveals a non-monotonic behavior of the critical temperature as a function of the two-dimensional density of charge carriers. We develop a theoretical description…
In condensed matter physics the quasi two-dimensional electron gas at the interface of two different insulators, polar LaAlO3 on non-polar SrTiO3 (LaAlO3/SrTiO3) is a spectacular and surprising observation. This phenomenon is LaAlO3 film…
Herein, we reported giant tunability of the physical properties of 2DEGs at the spinel/perovskite interface of {\gamma}-Al2O3/SrTiO3 (GAO/STO). By modulating the carrier density thus the band filling with ionic-liquid gating, the system…
Control of atomic-scale interfaces between materials with distinct electronic structures is crucial for the design and fabrication of most electronic devices. In the case of two-dimensional (2D) materials, disparate electronic structures…
Superconductivity in strontium titanate has remained enigmatic for more than 50 years. The LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ (LAO/STO) heterointerface enables systematic dimensional confinement, from a two-dimensional electron gas to…

First-principles calculations show the formation of a 2D spin polarized electron (hole) gas on the Li (CoO$_2$) terminated surfaces of finite slabs down to a monolayer of LiCoO$_2$ in remarkable contrast with the bulk band structure…
We investigate the surface electronic structure and thermodynamic stability of the SrTiO3 (111) slabs using density functional theory. We observe that, for Ti-terminated slabs it is indeed possible to create a two-dimensional electron gas…
In the polar catastrophe scenario, polar discontinuity accounts for the driving force of the formation of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the interface between polar and non-polar insulators. In this paper, we substitute the usual,…

The discovery of two dimensional Van der Waals materials has opened up several possibilities for designing novel devices. Yet a more promising way of designing exotic heterostutures with improved physical properties is to grow a monolayer…
Confined electron systems, such as 2D electron gases (2DEGs), 2D materials, or topological insulators show great technological promise but their susceptibility to defects often results in nanoscale inhomogeneities with unclear origins.…
Despite its simple structure and low degree of electronic correlation, SrTiO$_3$ (STO) features collective phenomena linked to charge transport and, ultimately, superconductivity, that are not yet fully explained. Thus, a better insight in…
Developing reliable methods for modulating the electronic structure of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in SrTiO3 is crucial for utilizing its full potential and inducing novel properties. Here, we show that relatively simple surface…
