The lifetime effects of the electron pairs are supposed to be responsible for the atypical behavior of the single electron transistors manufactured at the strontium titanate/ lanthanum aluminate (STO/LAO) interface. In addition, as shown in…
Strongly correlated electronic systems exhibit a wealth of unconventional behavior stemming from strong electron-electron interactions. The LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ (LAO/STO) heterostructure supports rich and varied low-temperature transport…
Superconducting strontium titanate (STO) is in the spotlight as a low carrier concentration semiconductor in proximity to polar order. Its superconducting pairing mechanism poses an open fundamental challenge, which may be resolved by…
The resistivity of the two dimensional electron gas that forms at the interface of strontium titanate with various oxides is sensitive to irradiation with visible light. In this letter we present data on the interface between the band gap…
It is well known that the transport properties of single-electron transistors with a superconducting island and normal-conducting leads (NSN SET) may depend on whether or not there is a single quasiparticle on the island. This parity effect…
We argue that at sufficiently low temperatures T superconducting parity effect may strongly influence equilibrium persistent currents (PC) in isolated superconducting nanorings containing a weak link with few conducting modes. For a single…
The novel electronic properties emerging at interfaces between transition metal oxides, and in particular the discovery of conductivity in heterostructures composed of LaAlO$_3$ (LAO) and SrTiO$_3$ (STO) band insulators, have generated new…
SrTiO$_3$-based conducting interfaces, which exhibit coexistence of gate-tunable 2D superconductivity and strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC), are candidates to host topological superconductive phases. Yet, superconductivity is usually…
The resistance of the electron gas at the interface between the two band insulators LaAlO3 (LAO) and SrTiO3 (STO) typically drops monotonically with temperature and R/T curves during cooling and warm-up look identical for large area…
In spite of Anderson's theorem, disorder is known to affect superconductivity in conventional s-wave superconductors. In most superconductors, the degree of disorder is fixed during sample preparation. Here we report measurements of the…
The two-dimensional electron gas at the crystalline LaAlO$_{3}$/SrTiO$_{3}$ (c-LAO/STO) interface has sparked large interest due to its exotic properties including an intriguing gate-tunable superconducting phase. While there is growing…
We present a theory for the pseudo-gap state recently observed at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface, based on superconducting islands embedded in a metallic background. Superconductivity within each island is BCS-like, and the local critical…
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…
Single electron tunneling into small superconducting islands is sensitive to the gap energy of the excitations created in the process and, hence, depends on the parity of the electron number in the island. We study these effects by…
Single electron tunneling into small superconducting islands is sensitive to the gap energy of the excitations created in the process and, hence, depends on the electron number parity. At low temperature the properties of the system are…
The tetragonal domain structure in SrTiO$_{3}$ (STO) is known to modulate the normal-state carrier density in LaAlO$_{3}$/SrTiO$_{3}$ (LAO/STO) heterostructures, among other electronic properties, but the effect of STO domains on the…
The LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface provides a unique platform for controlling the electronic properties of the superconducting semiconductor SrTiO3. Prior investigations have shown that two-dimensional superconductivity can be produced at the…
Much of the focus of modern condensed matter physics concerns control of quantum phases with examples that include flat band superconductivity in graphene bilayers, the interplay of magnetism and ferroelectricity, and induction of…
We examine the effects of strain and cation substitution on the superconducting phase of polar semiconductors near a ferroelectric quantum phase transition with a model that combines a strong coupling theory of superconductors with a…
A topological superconductor ring is uniquely characterized by a switch in the ground state fermion number parity upon insertion of one superconducting flux quantum - a direct consequence of the topological `parity anomaly.' Despite the…
