Transport properties of TMO interfaces

Abstract

Phenomena that are absent of bulk TMO compounds can emerge at their interfaces when they are grown on top of each-other. A prototypical example of such emerging states is found at the LaAlO ₃/SrTiO ₃ interface, which also attracted most of the initial interest for this new field of research (in the TMO context). Here we review some properties of this peculiar interface as investigated by transport measurements allowing the studies of different effects such as magnetism, superconductivity or Rashba effect; hence indirectly accessing the band structures studied by the methods presented in the rest of the book.
