Polar discontinuities occurring at interfaces between two different materials constitute both a challenge and an opportunity in the study and application of a variety of devices. In order to cure the large electric field occurring in such…
We investigate the superconductivity in two-dimensional electron systems formed in SrTiO3 nanostructures. Our the- oretical analysis is based on the three-orbital model, which takes into account t2g orbitals of Ti ions. Because of the…
We examine the enhancement of the interfacial superconductivity between LaAlO$_{3}$ and SrTiO$_{3}$ by an effective electric field. Through the breaking of inversion symmetry at the interface, we show that a term coupling the superfluid…
Superconductivity develops in bulk doped SrTiO$_3$ and at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface with a dome-shaped density dependence of the critical temperature $T_c$, despite different dimensionalities and geometries. We propose that the…
Interfaces between transition-metal oxides are able to host two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) and exhibit exotic quantum phenomena. Here we report the observation of superconductivity below 230 mK for the heterostructure composed of…
Integrating multiple properties in a single system is crucial for the continuous developments in electronic devices. However, some physical properties are mutually exclusive in nature. Here, we report the coexistence of two seemingly…
The discovery of high temperature superconductivity in cuprates was possible only through an intimate knowledge of perovskite oxides which have been synthesized and characterized for decades at the IBM in the Z\"urich laboratoty. Especially…
Monolayer FeSe/TiO$_x$ and FeSe/FeO$_x$ interfaces exhibit significant superconductivity enhancement compared to bulk FeSe, with interfacial electron-phonon coupling (EPC) playing a crucial role. However, the reduced dimensionality in…
The high-mobility conducting interface (CI) between LaAlO_{3}(LAO) and SrTiO_{3}(STO) has revealed many fascinating phenomena, including exotic magnetism and superconductivity. But, the formation mechanism of the CI has not been…
Superconductivity has been observed in doped SrTiO$_3$ at charge-carrier densities below 10$^{18}$ cm$^{-3}$, where the density of states at the Fermi level of the itinerant electrons is several orders of magnitude lower than that of…
We present a first-principles study of the electronic structures and properties of ideal (atomically sharp) LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (001) heterointerfaces and their variants such as a new class of quantum well systems. We demonstrate the…
The two-dimensional electron gas occurring between the band insulators SrTiO$_3$ and LaAlO$_3$ continues to attract considerable interest, due to the possibility of dynamic control over the carrier density, and the ensuing phenomena such as…
SrTiO$_3$ is a superconducting semiconductor with a pairing mechanism that is not well understood. SrTiO$_3$ undergoes a ferroelastic transition at $T=$ 105 K, leading to the formation of domains with boundaries that can couple to…
We measured the magnetoresistance of the 2D electron liquid formed at the (111) LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface. The hexagonal symmetry of the interface is manifested in a six-fold crystalline component appearing in the anisotropic…
We measure the gate voltage ($V_g$) dependence of the superconducting properties and the spin-orbit interaction in the (111)-oriented LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface. Superconductivity is observed in a dome-shaped region in the carrier…
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…
Permalloy magnetic tunnel junctions. Complementary low frequency noise measurements are used to understand the conductance results. The obtained data indicate the breakdown of the Coulomb blockade for thickness of the asymmetric silicon…
La0.9Ba0.1MnO3 is a ferromagnetic insulator in its bulk form, but exhibits metallicity in thin film form. It has a wide potential in a range of spintronic-related applications, and hence it is critical to understand thickness-dependent…
Understanding the superconductivity at the interface of FeSe/SrTiO3 is a problem of great contemporary interest due to the significant increase in critical temperature (Tc) compared to that of bulk FeSe, as well as the possibility of an…
A compound with metallic electrical conductivity usually has a considerable total thermal conductivity because both electrons and photons contribute to thermal transport. Here, we show an exceptional example of iridium oxide, Bi3Ir3O11,…
