Abstract:
We report the photoresponsive characteristics of (0 0 1), (1 1 0), and (1 1 1) LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerfaces deposited at different oxygen pressures using a 360 nm light. The results show that LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces with less oxygen vacancies exhibit a larger resistance change when illuminated by light and a slower recovery process when light is off. In addition, the (1 1 0) LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerfaces present the smallest photoinduced change and residual photoinduced change in the resistance, which are related to the negligible polarization discontinuity at the interfaces. Our results provide a deeper insight into the photoinduced properties in the 2D electron gas system, paving the way for the design of oxide optoelectronic devices.

The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...
