At interfaces between complex oxides it is possible to generate electronic systems with unusual electronic properties, which are not present in the isolated oxides. One important example is the appearance of superconductivity at the…
Surfaces and interfaces offer new possibilities for tailoring the many-body interactions that dominate the electrical and thermal properties of transition metal oxides. Here, we use the prototypical two-dimensional electron liquid (2DEL) at…
The diverse functionality emerging at oxide interfaces calls for a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms and control parameters of electronic reconstructions. Here, we explore the evolution of electronic phases in…
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…
We investigate the effect of oxygen vacancies and hydrogen dopants at the surface and inside slabs of LaAlO3, SrTiO3, and LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures on the electronic properties by means of electronic structure calculations as based on…
We have investigated the Hall resistance $R_H$ near the plateau-insulator transition of a two-dimensional electron gas in the quantum critical regime. High-field magnetotransport data taken on a low-mobility InGaAs/InP heterostructure with…
We present an analytical scaling theory for localization in a two-dimensional hierarchical network model that is designed to represent phase-coherent electron transport in the quantum-Hall regime. Scaling expressions for both the…
Interacting electrons confined to their lowest Landau level in a high magnetic field can form a variety of correlated states, some of which manifest themselves in a Hall effect. Although such states have been predicted to occur in three…
Symmetry, dimensionality, and interaction are crucial ingredients for phase transitions and quantum states of matter. As a prominent example, the integer quantum Hall effect (QHE) represents a topological phase generally regarded as…
We report on surface effects on the electronic properties of interfaces in epitaxial LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ heterostructures. Our results are based on first-principles electronic structure calculations for well-relaxed multilayer…
Using advanced first-principles calculations we predict that the non-polar SrTiO$_3$/SrZrO$_3$ (001) interface, designed as either thin SrZrO$_3$ film deposited on SrTiO$_3$ or short-period (SrTiO$_3$)$_m$/(SrZrO$_3$)$_n$ superlattice, host…
We build a theoretical model for the electronic properties of the two-dimensional (2D) electron gas that forms at the interface between insulating SrTiO$_3$ and a number of polar cap layers, including LaTiO$_3$, LaAlO$_3$, and GdTiO$_3$.…
Controlling the interplay between localized spins and itinerant electrons at the oxide interfaces can lead to exotic magnetic states. Here we devise SrTiO3/LaTiO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures with varied thickness of the LaTiO3 layer (n…
The metallic interface between two oxide insulators, such as LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO), provides new opportunities for electronics and spintronics. However, due to the presence of multiple orbital populations, tailoring the interfacial…
At the interface between complex insulating oxides, novel phases with interesting properties may occur, such as the metallic state reported in the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 system. While this state has been predicted and reported to be confined at the…
Experimental studies of the transitions from a primary quantum Hall (QH) liquid at filling factor 1/k (with k an odd integer) to the insulator have indicated a ``quantized Hall insulator'' (QHI) behavior: while the longitudinal resistivity…
Investigating Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations in high magnetic fields, we experimentally infer the electronic band structure of the quasi-two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the ionic-liquid gated amorphous (a)-LaAlO$_3$/KTaO$_3$…
