研究目的
Investigating the transport and magnetic properties of LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) heterostructure during cooling and warming, focusing on the strain-induced conductivity accelerated recoveries and their implications for temperature standard references.
研究成果
The study concludes that the strain-modified structure domain in LAO/STO heterostructures enhances the conductivity accelerated recovery effect, providing a potential temperature standard reference. The coexistence of paramagnetic and diamagnetic properties in the samples was confirmed, with the Kondo effect and weak anti-localization observed at low temperatures for certain sample thicknesses.
研究不足
The study is limited by the preparation conditions of the LAO/STO samples, which significantly affect the observed properties. The anomalies in transport properties are more pronounced in samples with specific thicknesses and under certain preparation conditions, limiting the generalizability of the findings.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved growing LaAlO3 thin films on TiO2 terminated (100) SrTiO3 substrate using pulsed laser deposition technique, monitored in situ using reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED).
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples with different thicknesses of LAO films (7, 15, and 25 unit cells) were prepared and characterized using SEM, EDS, XPS, XRD, and RSM.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
SEM (Hitachi S-4800), XPS (ESCALAB 250 from Thermo-VG Scientific), XRD (Rigaku, TTR III), PPMS from Quantum Design Company, MPMS.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Transport properties were tested using PPMS with a four-wire electrode method, and magnetic properties were tested using MPMS, both during cooling and warming between 300 K and 2 K.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The resistance data was analyzed to identify conductivity accelerated recoveries, and magnetization data was fitted to separate paramagnetic and diamagnetic contributions.
