The origin of the 2D electron gas (2DEG)stabilized at the bare surface of SrTiO3 (001) is investigated. Using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission and core-level spectroscopy, it is shown conclusively that this 2DEG arises from light-induced oxygen vacancies. The dominant mechanism driving vacancy formation is identified, allowing unprecedented control over the 2DEG carrier density.
稳定在 SrTiO3(001)裸表面的二维电子气(2DEG)的起源。利用高分辨率角分辨光发射和芯能级谱学,明确表明这种 2DEG 源自光致氧空位。确定了驱动空位形成的主要机制,从而实现了对 2DEG 载流子密度的空前控制。
