Abstract

Oxide electronics advance At surfaces or interfaces of materials, electronic states can form that have novel properties that are different from the bulk. Tailoring such properties in thin film oxide devices has led to a new field of research — known as oxide electronics — in which the material strontium titanate (SrTiO3) takes a central role. In particular, an exotic two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) forms at oxide interfaces based on SrTiO3, but the precise nature of the 2DEG has remained elusive. Santander-Syro et al. carry out a systematic study using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and obtain new insights into the electronic bandstructure of the 2DEG. Their findings shed light on previous observations in SrTiO3-based heterostructures and suggest that different forms of electron confinement at the surface of SrTiO3 lead to essentially the same 2DEG.
