Abstract
Using the metal-insulator transition that takes place as a function of carrier density at the LaAlO-SrTiO interface, oxide diodes have been fabricated with room-temperature breakdown voltages of up to 200 V. With applied voltage, the capacitance of the diodes changes by a factor of 150. The diodes are robust and operate at temperatures up to 270 C.
