Transport measurements on the two-dimensional electron system in Al2O3/SrTiO3 heterostructures indicate significant non-crystalline anisotropic behavior below T ≈ 30 K. Lattice dislocations in SrTiO3 and interfacial steps are suggested to be the main sources for electronic anisotropy in (001) oriented heterostructures. Anisotropic defect scattering likewise alters magnetoresistance at low temperature remarkably and influences spin-orbit coupling significantly by the Elliot-Yafet mechanism of spin relaxation resulting in anisotropic weak localization. Applying a magnetic field parallel to the interface results in an additional field-induced anisotropy of the magnetoconductance, which can be attributed to Rashba spin-orbit interaction.
