High mobility of the strongly confined hole gas in AgTaO3/ SrTiO3 — •Udo Schwingenschlögl, Safdar Nazir, and Mousumi Upadhyay-Kahaly — KAUST, PSE Division, Thuwal, Saudi Arabia
A theoretical study of the two-dimensional hole gas at the (AgO)−/ (TiO2)0 p-type interface in the AgTaO3/SrTiO3 (001) heterostructure is presented. The Ag 4d states strongly hybridize with the O 2p states and contribute to the hole gas. It is demonstrated that the holes are confined to an ultra thin layer (∼ 4.9 Å)
with a considerable carrier density of ∼1014 cm−2. We estimate a hole mobility of 18.6 cm2V−1s−1, which is high enough to enable device applications.
