▲ [23p-E205-11] Giant spin-to-charge conversion in an all-epitaxial single-crystal-oxide Rashba LaTiO3+δ/SrTiO3 heterostructure
キーワード:Spin-to-charge conversion, Two-dimensional electron gas, Oxide heterostructure
The two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formed at oxide interfaces, such as LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (STO) and AlOx/STO, has attracted much attention for their extremely large spin-to-charge conversion efficiencies λIEE up to ~60 nm due to the large Rashba spin-orbit interaction. However, these insulating layers on STO prevent the propagation of a spin current injected from an adjacent ferromagnetic layer. Moreover, the mechanism of the spin-current flow in these insulating layers is still unexplored. Here, using a strongly correlated polar-metal LaTiO3+δ (LTO) interlayer and the 2DEG formed at the LTO/STO interface in an all-epitaxial heterostructure, we demonstrate giant λIEE up to ~190 nm. The obtained λIEE is the highest value among those reported for all materials including metals, semiconductors, and topological systems so far. This highly efficient spin transport/conversion highlights the new hidden inherent possibilities of oxide interfaces for spin-orbitronics applications.
