  • 利用密度泛函理论计算, 本文系统研究了δ掺杂的La:SrTiO3超晶格结构的电子性质随掺杂维度和掺杂浓度改变而变化的规律性. 该结构通过在SrTiO3等间距的单元层中掺入一定浓度的La来实现. 在25% La掺杂浓度下, 随着相邻掺杂层间距从1个单层增加到5个单层, 掺杂维度从三维过渡到二维, 超晶格从金属性变到绝缘体性, 并在带隙中产生局域态, 且该局域态呈现出电荷序、自旋序和轨道序. 这种金属-绝缘体转变是由于二维电子体系呈现出更强的关联性造成的. 而随着二维掺杂浓度提高到50%, 关联性降低, 体系变成金属性.

     

    Electronic properties in δ-doped La:SrTiO3 superlattices varying with the doping dimensionality and concentration are systematically studied through using first-principles calculation. The superlattices consist of periodically repeated La-doped single SrTiO3 layers in SrTiO3 film, and the doping dimensionality can be tuned by varying the space of the neighboring doped layers. At 25% doping concentration, the spacing between SrTiO3 layers increases from 1 unit-cell layer to 5 unit-cell layers, i.e. the doping dimensionality changes three dimensions to two dimensions, the superlattice charater changes from metallic character into insulating character, and the charge sequence, spin sequence and orbital sequence are present in a localized state. This metal-insulator transition is ascribed to the stronger correlation effect in the two-dimensional electron system. With the two-dimensional doping concentration increasing to 50%, the correlation effect becomes weak and the system becomes metallic.
