¡Nos trasladamos! E-Prints cerrará el 7 de junio.

En las próximas semanas vamos a migrar nuestro repositorio a una nueva plataforma con muchas funcionalidades nuevas. En esta migración las fechas clave del proceso son las siguientes:

7 de junio: congelación de E-Prints. A partir de este momento, no se podrá hacer ningún depósito ni cambio, modificación o edición.
12 al 30 de junio: migración de E-Prints a Docta Complutense, comprobación y visto bueno de la migración
3 de julio: entrada en producción de Docta Complutense

Es muy importante que cualquier depósito se realice en E-Prints Complutense antes del 7 de junio. En caso de urgencia para realizar un depósito, se puede comunicar a docta@ucm.es.

Abstract

Interfaces between (110) and (111)SrTiO_3 (STO) single crystalline substrates and amorphous oxide layers, LaAlO_3 (a-LAO), Y:ZrO_2 (a-YSZ), and SrTiO_3 (a-STO) become conducting above a critical thickness tc. Here we show that t_c for a-LAO is not depending on the substrate orientation, i.e. t_c (a-LAO/(110)STO) ≈ t_c(a-LAO/(111)STO) interfaces, whereas it strongly depends on the composition of the amorphous oxide: t_c(a-LAO/(110)STO) < t_c(a-YSZ/(110)STO) < t_c(a-STO/(110)STO). It is concluded that the formation of oxygen vacancies in amorphous-type interfaces is mainly determined by the oxygen affinity of the deposited metal ions, rather than orientational-dependent enthalpy vacancy formation and diffusion. Scanning transmission microscopy characterization of amorphous and crystalline LAO/STO(110) interfaces shows much higher amount of oxygen vacancies in the former, providing experimental evidence of the distinct mechanism of conduction in these interfaces.
