Niobium thin film nanostructures were fabricated using electron beam lithography and a liftoff process involving a four layer resist system. Wires having micrometres in length and below 200 nm in width were deposited on an insulating…
We explore the superconducting phase diagram of the two-dimensional electron system at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface by monitoring the frequencies of the cavity modes of a coplanar waveguide resonator fabricated in the interface itself. We…
We report the electrical top-gating of a 2-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formed at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface, using electron-beam evaporated Au gate electrodes. In these structures, epitaxial LaAlO3 films grown by pulsed laser…
With infrared ellipsometry and transport measurements we investigated the electrons at the interface between LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. We obtained a sheet carrier density of Ns~5-9x 10E13 cm^-2, an effective mass of m*~3m_e, and a strongly…
Interface-type resistive switching (RS) devices with lower operation current and more reliable switching repeatability exhibits great potential in the applications for data storage devices and ultra-low-energy computing. However, the…
Colloidal quantum dots (cQDs) recently emerged as building blocks for semiconductor materials with tuneable properties. Electro-hydrodynamic printing can be used to obtain sub-micrometre patterns of cQDs without elaborate and aggressive…
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…
Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) formed at complex oxide interfaces offer a unique platform to engineer quantum nanostructures. However, scalable fabrication of locally addressable devices in these materials remains challenging. Here,…
The fabrication of oxide electronics devices is presently hindered by the lack of standardized and well established patterning procedures, applicable down to the nanoscale. In this work, the authors propose a procedure to obtain patterns…
The low-temperature resistance of a conducting LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface with a 10 nm thick LaAlO3 film decreases by more than 50% after illumination with light of energy higher than the SrTiO3 band-gap. We explain our observations by optical…
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…
Previous efforts to directly write conductive metals have been narrowly focused on nanoparticle ink suspensions that require aggressive sintering (>200 {\deg}C) and result in low-density, small-grained agglomerates with electrical…
In recent years, striking discoveries have revealed that two-dimensional electron liquids (2DEL) confined at the interface between oxide band-insulators can be engineered to display a high mobility transport. The recognition that only few…
Thin films of the correlated transition-metal oxide LaNiO$_3$ undergo a metal-insulator transition when their thickness is reduced to a few unit cells. Here, we use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to study the evolution of the…
We report the fabrication of nanostructures from the quasi-two-dimensional electron gas (q2DEG) formed at the LaAlO$_{3}$/ SrTiO$_{3}$ (LAO/STO) interface. The process uses electron beam lithography in combination with reactive ion etching.…
Topological insulators are novel quantum materials with metallic surface transport, but insulating bulk behavior. Often, topological insulators are dominated by bulk contributions due to defect induced bulk carriers, making it difficult to…
Modulation of the grain boundary properties in thermoelectric materials that have thermally activated electrical conductivity is crucial in order to achieve high performance at low temperatures. In this work, we show directly that the…
Interfaces between complex oxides constitute a unique playground for 2D electron systems (2DES), where superconductivity and magnetism can arise from combinations of bulk insulators. The 2DES at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface is one of the…
The discovery of a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas at the (110)-oriented LaAlO3/SrTiO3 in- terface provided us with the opportunity to probe the effect of crystallographic orientation and the ensuing electronic reconstructions on…
We have studied ultrafast dynamics of thin films of LaCoO$_3$ and La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$CoO$_3$ with femtosecond pump-probe ellipsometry in the energy range of 1.6-3.4 eV. We have observed a large pump-induced transfer of spectral weight in…
