Title: | Enhanced surface-and-interface coupling in Pd-nanoparticle-coated LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures : strong gas- and photo-induced conductance modulation | Authors: | Kim, H Chan, NY Dai, JY Kim, DW |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Source: | Scientific reports, 23 2014, v. 5, no. , p. 1-6 | Abstract: | Pd nanoparticle (NP) coated LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) heterointerface exhibits more notable conductance (G) change while varying the ambient gas (N2, H2/N2, and O2) and illuminating with UV light (wavelength: 365 nm) than a sample without the NPs. Simultaneous Kelvin probe force microscopy and transport measurements reveal close relationships between the surface work function (W) and G of the samples. Quantitative analyses suggest that a surface adsorption/desorption-mediated reaction and redox, resulting in a band-alignment modification and charge-transfer, could explain the gas- and photo-induced conductance modulation at the LAO/STO interface. Such surface-and-interface coupling enhanced by catalytic Pd NPs is a unique feature, quite distinct from conventional semiconductor hetero-junctions, which enables the significant conductance tunability at ultrathin oxide heterointerfaces by external stimuli. | Publisher: | Nature Publishing Group | Journal: | Scientific reports | EISSN: | 2045-2322 | DOI: | 10.1038/srep08531 | Rights: | This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
