Thermally activated recovery of electrical conductivity in LaAlO3/SrTiO3

Patterned structures of LaAlO3/SrTiO3 that exhibit a decrease in their electrical conductivity below 30 K, recover their higher conductivity upon warming in a thermally activated process. Two dominant energy barriers $E_b$ are identified: $E_{b1}=0.224\pm0.003$ eV related to conductivity recovery near 70 K and $E_{b2}=0.44\pm0.015$ eV related to conductivity recovery near 160 K. We discuss possible linkage to structural defects such as dislocations and twin boundaries.

Interplay between sheet resistance increase and magnetotransport properties in ${\rm LaAlO_3}/{\rm SrTiO_3}$

We find that the sheet resistance ($R_s$) of patterned samples of ${\rm LaAlO_3}/{\rm SrTiO_3}$ with a length scale of several microns may increase significantly at low temperatures in connection with driving electrical currents and applying in-plane magnetic fields. As the samples are warmed up, $R_s$ recovers to its original value with accelerated recovery near ${\rm 70 \ K}$ and ${\rm 160 \ K}$. Concomitantly with the increase in $R_s$, the carrier density and the mobility decrease and magnetotransport properties which may be linked to magnetism are suppressed.

Antisymmetric magnetoresistance of the SrTiO3/LaAlO3 interface

The longitudinal resistance $R_{xx}$ of the SrTiO3/LaAlO3 interface with magnetic fields applied perpendicular to the interface has an antisymmetric term (namely, $R_{xx}(H)\neq R_{xx}(-H)$) which increases with decreasing temperature and increasing field. We argue that the origin of this phenomenon is a non-homogeneous Hall effect with clear contribution of an extraordinary Hall effect, suggesting the presence of non-uniform field-induced magnetization.
