Universal Structural Influence on the 2D Electron Gas at SrTiO3 Surfaces
Abstract The 2‐dimensional electron gas (2DEG) found at the surface of SrTiO3 and related interfaces has attracted significant attention as a promising basis for oxide electronics. In order to utilize its full potential, the response of this 2DEG to structural changes and surface modification must b...
