Abstract

The two-dimensional electron gas formed at LaAlO₃/SrTiO ₃ heterointerfaces exhibits a variety of interesting physical properties. Herein, we report on tunable conductivity at LaAlO ₃/Sr_xCa_1-xTiO₃ heterostructures. By changing the Sr content in the Sr_xCa_1-xTiO₃ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) layers, the orthorhombicity of the films, which inevitably accompanies TiO₆ octahedral distortions in the unit cells, could be varied. As a result, the interfacial conductivity can be tuned over 6 orders of magnitude. We suggest that the use of pseudosubstrates with chemical substitution or alloying is a promising route to finely tune conductivity at oxide heterointerfaces.
