Abstract:
:The interface between LaAlO(3) and SrTiO(3) possesses a range of intriguing properties, notably a proposed connection between the surface state of the LaAlO(3) and the conductivity buried in the SrTiO(3). Here we study the effect of the surface adsorption of a variety of common laboratory solvents on the conductivity at the interface between LaAlO(3) and SrTiO(3). We show that the application of chemicals such as acetone, ethanol, and water can induce a large change in the conductivity, and, in particular, an insulator to metal transition around the critical LaAlO(3) thickness. This phenomenon is observed only for polar solvents. These data provide experimental evidence for a general polarization-facilitated electronic transfer mechanism.
